Answer 1

The farmer sowed the seeds after they had ploughed their fields.

What is the past perfect tense?

• In English Grammar, we use the past perfect tense to shown an action that occurred before another action in the past.
• In the statement above, the farmers ploughed the fields before they sowed the seeds.
• Hence, the first action i.e ploughing will be written in past perfect tense.
