    I am this day years old when I learned what past perfect's is supposed to be. I always used it as a 'cool' version of simple past. Thank you for enlightening me on this :)

      Hi, I’m a student too, I think that in the first sentence you are still in the night, it’s like
      (--raining all night-)
      ------you---
      In the second sentence, it’s just the past:
      (--rained all night--)
      --------------you

    Hello Ms. Aga: what is the difference between two questions
    - What did you do yesterday?
    - What were you doing yesterday?
    Can I use it interchangeable?
    Could you explain them for me how and when to use them?
    Thank you.

    • @samnangoeurn7026
      @samnangoeurn7026 Рік тому +1

      - What did you do yesterday day? + Is talking about the events or situations in the past that completely finished.
      - What were you doing yesterday?
      + It shows us that this question is asking for the answer which relates to the past events that were happening nom stop nor have not finished in thes past.

    If there is a clear order of events that happened in the past, we use Past Simple. Events that took place one after another.
    But if something happened in the past and we want to say that another event took place and finished earlier than first one, we use Past Perfect.

    @english_with_aga Hi Aga, in the first example I thought the correct answer was A because, doesn't the word "already" make it clear that you already watched it before? As in the very last example, the word "then" it is enough to make the order clear . At least to me it is the same logic. I look forward to your answer Thank you

    I think "my train left when I got to the station" more than me arriving first and the train leaving after that, it would be more I arrived and the train left right at that moment. Simultaneous actions, more than me arriving as a first action and the train leaving after. Otherwise, I would have taken the train and wouldn't have missed it 😅

  • @AmeraAlawer
    @AmeraAlawer Рік тому

    Your effort is very much appriciated. But do you mean that we can't use/ before/ or /after /with the past perfect at all ? For we have been told by a teacher /not native/to use p.p. either before BEFORE or after AFTER.
    Please, tell me for you are trusted.

    • @rubina1377
      @rubina1377 2 місяці тому +1

      Past perfect can also be used.
      The sentences "My train left before I got to the station" and "My train had left before I got to the station" both are correct.

    • @rubina1377
      @rubina1377 2 місяці тому +1

      The sentence without had left is grammatically correct but the one with had left makes the sequence of events clearer

    • @rubina1377
      @rubina1377 2 місяці тому +1

      The one without "had" is commonly used and casual.
      The one with "had" is more precise and emphasizes that one action happened before the other. It highlights event sequence clearly, which is important in formal grammar contexts

    "My train had left before I got to the station." This is perfectly correct sentence. I don't get why you confuse your viewer. Of course you don't have to use past perfect in this kind of sentence but it doesn't mean that this sentence is incorrect.
