Past Perfect je davno prošlo vreme i kao takvo koristi se za neku radnju koja se dogodila pre nekog drugog trenutka u prošlosti. Za gradjenje ovog vremena potreban je prošli particip (past participle) koji se dobija na dva načina. Ukoliko je glagol pravilan, dodaje se nastavak –d ili –ed na infinitiv glagola. Ukoliko je glagol nepravilan, koristi se prošli particip iz liste nepravilnih glagola (treća kolona).

Kako se gradi Past Perfect?

 potvrdan oblik: Subjekat + had + prošli particip

They had arrived. (pravilan glagol - prošli particip se dobija dodavanje nastavka -d na glagol arrive)

They had left. (nepravilan glagol - prošli particip se nalazi u trećnoj koloni nepravilnih glagola: leave, left, left)

upitan oblik: Had + Subjekat + prošli particip

Had they arrived?

Had they left?

odričan oblik: Subjekat + had + not + prošli particip

They had not arrived. 

They had not left.
