Exercise 1

Step 1

1 of 4

In this task, we need to complete the sentences using the pluperfect form of the verbs from the box.

Step 2

2 of 4

First, let’s revise the pluperfect tense.

The pluperfect is used when we are describing an action that happened before another action also in the past.
The pluperfect is formed with the imperfect of the verb “haber” + past participle.

The past participle of the “-ar” ending verbs is formed by adding “-ado” to the stem. With “-ir/-er” ending verbs, the past participle is formed by adding “-ido” to the stem.
Also, there are many verbs that have an irregular past participle.
With the verbs that in the infinitive have two vowels don’t forget to put the accent marks on the “-í”

And lastly, the past participle of the verb “llenar” is formed by adding “-ado” to the stem (llen+ado).
