We build the past perfect using the auxiliary verb "have" in the past tense and the past participle of the main verb:
had + past participle
| Positive and negative | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| I/you/he/she/it/we/they | had ('d) had not (hadn't) |
talked finished worked |
regular verbs |
| done taken written |
irregular verbs | ||
| Question | ||
|---|---|---|
| Had | I/you/he/she/it/we/they | talked finished done taken ... |
Regular verbs form the past participle with the -ed ending — exactly like in the past simple.
play — played — played
want — wanted — wanted
finish — finished — finished
