El Pasado Perfecto en el idioma inglés es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para referirnos a una acción que tuvo lugar en un momento anterior a otra acción, aunque ambas hayan sucedido en el pasado estableciendo un orden entre ellas, por ejemplo:
The film had finished when she arrived at the cinema.
La película había terminado cuando ella llegó al cine.
(Primera acción: la película había terminado
Segunda acción: ella llegó al cine)
Sarah had prepared dinner when her husband got home.
Sarah había preparado la cena cuando su esposo llegó a casa.
(Primera acción: Sarah había preparado la cena
Segunda acción: su esposo llegó a casa)
La película había terminado cuando ella llegó al cine.
(Primera acción: la película había terminado
Segunda acción: ella llegó al cine)
Sarah had prepared dinner when her husband got home.
Sarah había preparado la cena cuando su esposo llegó a casa.
(Primera acción: Sarah había preparado la cena
Segunda acción: su esposo llegó a casa)
Para poder construir la forma afirmativa del Pasado Perfecto debemos utilizar como auxiliar el verbo TO HAVE en Pasado Simple y acompañado por el verbo principal en su Pasado Participio (ya sean verbos regulares o verbos irregulares):
I had bought a new car. | Yo había comprado un nuevo auto. |
You had cleaned the house. | Tú habías limpiado la casa. |
He had brought the gifts. | Él había traído los regalos. |
She had lost the credit card. | Ella había perdido la tarjeta de crédito. |
Para formar una interrogación deberemos colocar el auxiliar al comienzo de la oración, luego el sujeto y posteriormente el verbo principal también en Pasado Participio:
Had I bought a new car? | Había comprado yo un nuevo auto? |
Had you cleaned the house? | Habías limpiado tú la casa? |
Had he brought the gifts? | Había traído él los regalos? |
Had she lost the credit card? | Había perdido ella la tarjeta de crédito? |
I had not bought a new dress. | Yo no había comprado un nuevo vestido. |
You had not cleaned the house. | Tú no habías limpiado la casa. |
He had not brought the gifts. | Él no había traído los regalos. |
She had not lost the credit card. | Ella no había perdido la tarjeta de crédito. |
