Past Perfect Mastery

Students complete sentences using the past perfect tense (had + past participle) to show which action occurred first. The second section requires rewriting sentences to correctly show time order. This reinforces students’ ability to contrast simple past and past perfect forms. By determining sequence and rewriting sentences accordingly, students gain a deeper understanding of cause-and-effect relationships in narrative writing.
