Yesterday, Pete had promised to meet me here at 8:00 am. but he did not come on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof Bot: Uh-oh. It\u2019s bad to be late for a business meeting. But while we wait for Pete, let\u2019s talk about a new verb tense &#8212; past perfect! You know the past tense, right? Like, &#8220;Pete promised to meet me here at 8:00 a.m.&#8221; Past perfect is a little different. When we talk about two things in the past, we can use the past perfect for the first event. Put &#8220;had&#8221; before the past participle. &#8220;Pete had promised he would meet Anna.&#8221; Here&#8217;s your assignment: find sentences with the past perfect tense. Remember, look for &#8220;had!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly: You two are late &#8212; exactly 43 minutes late! What happened?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: He had to get his &#8220;special&#8221; coffee &#8212; SPECIAL coffee!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete: She had to feed her birds &#8212; HER birds!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly: Okay, I can see already that you need my help. You can\u2019t both talk at the same time. You have to take turns. Alright, Anna, you go first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: Sure. Kelly, see, Pete and I live in the same building. So, we decided to meet at 8:00 a.m. &#8211; 8:00 a.m. to come to work together. I had waited 15 minutes when Pete arrived!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: After Pete had wasted time waiting for coffee, we were late. I left you a message.*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly: Hum. I didn\u2019t get that message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: Oh. Sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly: Pete?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prof. Bot: Anna left a message. That\u2019s the right thing to do. Did you find some examples of the past perfect sentences? I did. Anna said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: &#8220;After Pete had wasted time waiting for coffee, we were late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at that coffee! It looks more like dessert! Okay, keep watching for past perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete: Yeah, that\u2019s not why we\u2019re late. This is why we\u2019re late: I had arrived on time at 8:00 a.m. but didn\u2019t see Anna. She was standing behind a tree. I think she was hugging it. I always walk to work. But she said that would take too long and that a scooter would be much faster. It was awful. I hated it. And it added too much time to our commute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Anna stopped by a pond to feed the birds. She had named them after characters from books and yelled the names out loud \u2026 Romeo! Juliet! Sherlock!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time she had fed all the birds, we were late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly: This is what I think. You two see the same event very differently. Does this happen often with you two?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete: Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete: No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: Yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly: Okay. This is good. This is good! It\u2019s good to see things differently. I have an idea: we will call the show &#8220;He Said, She Said.&#8221; For every story, you tell a different point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: That is a great idea, Kelly! Pete, we are different. That\u2019s why I thought of you for this job!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly: I think you two understand perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anna: Let\u2019s get to work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kelly: She named the birds? Really?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pete: Yeah\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Business people in the U.S. think you should come to a meeting at the exact time.
