Answer 2

Answer:

Functions of the past perfect :

The past perfect refers to a time earlier than before now. It is used to make it clear that one event happened before another in the past. It does not matter which event is mentioned first - the tense makes it clear which one happened first.

Forming the past perfect :

The Past Perfect tense in English is composed of two parts: the past tense of the verb to have (had) + the past participle of the main verb.

Past perfect + just :

'Just' is used with the past perfect to refer to an event that was only a short time earlier than before.

EXAMPLES :

1. The train had just left when I arrived at the station.
2. She had just left the room when the police arrived.
3. I had just put the washing out when it started to rain.
