★ Answer

The tense in the above sentence is Past Perfect Tense

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Past Perfect Tense

• This tense denotes an action completed at some time in the past before another action has started.
• Here we use 3rd form of verb with all the pronouns.
• Helping verb ' had ' is used.

$\mapsto\bf{For \: Example}$ - I had not been to Delhi.

Formation :

Subject + had + Past Participle ( 3rd form of verb )

For Assertive :

• $\implies$Sub + had + 3rd Form + object.

For Negative :

• $\implies$ Sub + had not + 3rd form + object.

For Interrogative :

• $\implies$Had + Sub + 3rd Form + object ?

For Interrogative - Negative :

• $\implies$Had + Sub + not + 3rd Form + object ?
