The past perfect
The Pilgrims landed near Plymouth Rock.
They had been at sea for six weeks.
Das past perfect verwenden wir, um auszudrücken, dass eine Handlung vor einer einer
anderen Handlung oder vor einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt in der Vergangenheit stattfand.
Das past perfect bildet man mit HAD und dem past participle (Partizip Perfekt).
Beachte: Im Deutschen verwendet man hatte oder war:
I had been there and had seen the castle.
(war ... gewesen)
(hatte…gesehen)
Simple past und past perfect
Mit dem simple past drücken wir aus, dass etwas zu einem bestimmten Zeitpunkt in der
Vergangenheit stattfand:
z.B. Die Boston Tea Party ereignete sich im Jahre 1773.
e.g. The Boston Tea Party happened in 1773.
Vorher war bereits etwas anderes geschehen: Die britische Regierung hatte eine neue Steuer
auf Tee erhoben. Was vorher geschehen war, steht im past perfect.
e.g. It happened because the British government had put a new tax on tea.
Das past perfect beschreibt immer die Handlung, die weiter zurück liegt!!!!
Beispiel:
• The movie had started when Kate arrived. Hier hatte der Film bereits begonnen, bevor
Kate ankam. Sie versäumte den Anfang.
• The movie started when Kate arrived. In diesem Fall began der Film erst, als sie
ankam. Sie kam bereits rechtzeitig.
