Introduction The past perfect progressive, also past perfect continuous, is used for actions that were in progress shortly before or up to a certain past time. It emphasises the process of an action rather than the completion. It is similar to the present perfect progressive tense but is used to express past actions. We form this tense with had + been + present participle or -ing form of the main verb. Learn how and when to use in the past perfect progressive in English grammar with Lingolia’s grammar rules. In the interactive exercises, you can test your knowledge. Example I went to visit Louise the other day. She had been practising the flute for hours when I arrived. Louise looked very tired because she had been practising for so long. The piece is very difficult and although Louise had been practising it for a long time, she still hadn’t mastered it. Usage We use the past perfect progressive tense to express the following an action that started before a certain time in the past and was interrupted by a second action Example Louise had been practising for hours when Mark knocked on the door. an action that started and ended before a certain time in the past but the effect of this action was still important at that moment Example When I saw Louise, she was tired because she had been practising all day. an action that started before a certain time in the past and wasn’t completed at that time Example She had been practising for a very long time, but she still hadn’t mastered the piece. Past Perfect Simple or Progressive? Sometimes, we can use the past perfect simple instead of the past perfect progressive without completely changing the meaning of the sentence, instead, we change the focus of the sentence from the duration of an action to its completion. Example Louise had been practising for an hour. Focus is on the duration of the action. Louise had practised for an hour. Focus is on the completion of the action. Signal Words English Past Perfect Progressive Signal words can help us to recognise the tense in a sentence. The signal words for the past perfect progressive are for …, since … the whole day, all day The signal words for the past perfect progressive are the same as those for the present perfect progressive. The difference is that the signal words for the past perfect progressive refer to the past, not the present. Past Perfect Progressive in Spoken English We don’t use the past perfect progressive often in spoken English – it is much more common in written texts. Therefore, native English speakers prefer to rephrase a sentence slightly in order to use simpler tenses. Example Louise had been practising for hours when Mark knocked on the door. past perfect progressive Louise was practising when Mark knocked on the door. past progressive If we leave out the duration of an action, we can use the past progressive instead of the past perfect progressive.

Contohnya “I had eaten breakfast before work.” Artikel ini akan menjelaskan apa definisi past perfect tense, rumus past perfect tense, time signal past perfect tense, serta fungsi dan contoh kalimat past perfect tense. Simak dengan baik ya! — Setelah membahas tentang present perfect tense, kita akan lanjut ke bagian past perfect tense. Seperti yang kita tahu, grammar tense dalam bahasa Inggris yang membahas tentang masa lampau nggak cuma satu, right? Sebelumnya kita sudah mengenal beberapa tenses untuk menyatakan kejadian di masa lampau dari rumpun simple tense dan continuous tense. Ada simple past tense yang berfungsi untuk membahas kondisi pada masa lampau, kemudian ada past continuous tense untuk dipakai saat membicarakan aktivitas masa lalu yang masih berlangsung, dan ada simple past future tense untuk membahas kejadian di masa depan, tapi dari perspektif masa lampau. Then, bagaimana dengan past perfect tense? Maka dari itu artikel ini akan memberikan penjelasan mengenai past perfect tense, mulai dari pengertian, rumus, hingga contoh kalimatnya. Jangan lupa pahami hingga akhir, agar kamu dapat memahami secara keseluruhan terkait perbedaan dari past perfect tense dengan ketiga tenses yang kita sebutkan di atas. Apa Itu Past Perfect Tense dan Contohnya? Pengertian past perfect tense adalah perubahan bentuk kata kerja untuk menggambarkan bahwa ada suatu tindakan di masa lalu yang telah selesai sebelum tindakan lain yang juga di masa lalu terjadi. Contoh past perfect tense “They had painted the fence before I had a chance to speak to them.” Biasanya, momen “aksi lain” pada past perfect tense bisa diceritakan secara spesifik. Selain itu, aksi yang telah selesai di masa lampau dapat terjadi berulang kali maupun hanya sekali. Kamu juga bisa gunakan past perfect tense untuk bercerita tentang suatu peristiwa yang telah terjadi di masa lalu dan selesai juga di masa lalu. Kenapa menggunakan past perfect tense? Past perfect tense sering digunakan untuk menunjukkan tindakan yang terjadi sebelum tindakan lain di masa lampau, sehingga membantu mendefinisikan urutan kronologis kejadian. Selain itu, past perfect tense berlaku juga dalam rumus pembuatan kalimat conditional sentence tipe ketiga dan reported speech. Apa Bedanya Simple Past dengan Past Perfect? Simple past berlaku untuk menyatakan aktivitas yang terjadi di masa lalu dan sudah selesai, baik tindakan tersebut berlangsung dalam waktu yang lama atau singkat, sedangkan past perfect dipakai ketika ingin mengungkapkan tindakan yang terjadi sebelum tindakan lain di masa lampau. Namun, dalam beberapa kasus, simple past dan past perfect dapat digunakan bersama-sama untuk menggambarkan dua tindakan di masa lalu. Ketika dua tindakan pada masa lampau terjadi secara berurutan, past perfect berfungsi untuk menyebutkan aksi yang terjadi lebih dulu, kemudian simple past untuk tindakan yang terjadi setelahnya. Contoh “She had finished her homework before she went to bed” Dia telah menyelesaikan pekerjaannya sebelum tidur. Apa Perbedaan Past Perfect Tense dan Present Perfect Tense? Present perfect tense digunakan untuk menunjukkan hubungan antara tindakan di masa lalu dan masa kini, rumusnya adalah have/has + past participle V3. Sementara itu, past perfect tense lebih umum digunakan dalam situasi di mana ada dua tindakan di masa lalu yang perlu dipastikan urutan kronologisnya. Contoh present present perfect tense I have studied English for five years. Saya mulai belajar lima tahun yang lalu dan masih belajar sekarang. She has visited Paris twice. Dia pernah mengunjungi Paris 2 kali -dalam waktu yang tidak spesifik sebelum sekarang-. Apa Itu Rumus Past Perfect Tense? Formula of Past Perfect Tense Rumus past perfect tense adalah Subject + had + past participle V3 untuk bentuk kalimat positif. Karena menceritakan aksi di masa lalu, maka past perfect harus menggunakan had yang merupakan bentuk lampau dari have/has yang digunakan dalam present perfect tense. Apa saja rumus past perfect tense? 1. Rumus past perfect tense positif Subject + had + past participle V3Contoh kalimat I had finished my work before I went to bed. 2. Rumus negatif past perfect tense Subject + hadn’t + past participle V3Contoh kalimat She hadn’t studied for the exam before she took it. 3. Rumus past perfect tense interogatif/pertanyaan Had + subject + past participle V3?Contoh kalimat Had they finished their breakfast before leaving the house? 4. Rumus past perfect tense interogatif untuk pertanyaan negatif Hadn’t + subject + past participle V3?Contoh kalimat Hadn’t he practiced the guitar before the concert started? Important notes! Beberapa hal penting yang harus kamu ingat dari past perfect tense, antara lain adalah sebagai berikut Berbeda dengan present perfect tense yang menggunakan dua auxiliary verb untuk dua jenis subject, untuk tense ini, auxiliary “had” dapat digunakan baik pada singular maupun plural subject. Jadi, aux “had” berlaku untuk subjek I, you, dan plural subject lainnya, seperti; plural pronoun they, we, plural noun boys, men, dan compound subject dengan kata hubung “and” you and I, Masha and David. Begitupun dengan singular subject, yaitu kata ganti orang ketiga atau biasa dikenal juga sebagai third-person singular pronoun he, she, it, dan singular noun seperti penyebutan nama orang Grace, Cerci, etc tetap menggunakan aux “had” tanpa ada perubahan. Verb yang digunakan dalam past perfect tense adalah kata kerja bentuk ketiga, atau sering disebut dengan dengan past participle. Past participle dibentuk dengan menambahkan –ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, atau -ne pada base form bentuk dasar dari regular verb. Pada base form irregular verb kata kerja tidak beraturan, bentuk past participle-nya juga tidak beraturan. Kalau lupa apa itu regular verb dan irregular verb, kamu bisa mempelajarinya lagi dari artikel 11 tipe kata kerja bahasa Inggris beserta contohnya. Wait, wait! Intermezzo dulu sebentar, deh.

Adverb of Time/ Time Signal dalam Past Perfect Tense Seperti tenses yang lain, past perfect juga memiliki keterangan waktu yang dapat digunakan sebagai complement. Berikut ini beberapa adverb of time/time signal yang menjadi ciri khas dari past perfect tense. Notes! Sebetulnya, adverb of time di atas bukanlah suatu yang wajib kamu masukkan pada kalimat past perfect tense. Berikut contoh kalimat tanpa time expression Bentuk kalimat positif S + had + past participle V-3 My old brother had eaten. Kakak saya sudah makan. They had slept. Mereka sudah tidur. Bentuk kalimat negatif S + had + not + past participle V-3 My old brother hadn’t eaten. Kakak saya belum makan They hadn’t slept. Mereka belum tidur Bentuk kalimat interogatif/kalimat tanya Had + S + past participle V-3 Had my old brother eaten? Apakah kakak saya sudah makan? Had they slept? Apakah mereka sudah tidur? Fungsi Past Perfect Tense beserta Contoh Kalimatnya Seperti tenses yang lain, past perfect tense memiliki berbagai fungsi yang bisa kita gunakan untuk melakukan percakapan dengan orang lain dalam berbagai situasi. 1. Menyatakan suatu tindakan atau aksi yang sudah selesai Seperti yang sudah kita bahas di bagian definisi, fungsi utama tense ini adalah untuk dapat menyatakan suatu peristiwa yang telah terjadi dan selesai di masa lampau sebelum ada momen lampau lainnya yang terjadi. Pada fungsi ini, kamu perlu menyisipkan subordinate conjunction seperti After simple past tense + after + past perfect tense Before, by the time, when past perfect tense + before / by the time / when + simple past tense Nah, subordinate conjunction ini merupakan bagian dari adverb of time yang menjadi ciri khas dari past perfect tense. Perhatikan contoh berikut She had left the scene when the ambulance arrived. Dia telah meninggalkan tempat kejadian ketika ambulans tiba. They had played football in that field before it started to rain. Mereka telah bermain sepak bola di lapangan itu sebelum hujan turun. The plane had left by the time I got to the airport. Pesawatnya sudah pergi saat saya tiba di bandara. I helped him to do the task after I had finished my work. Saya membantunya mengerjakan tugas setelah saya menyelesaikan pekerjaan saya. 2. Menunjukkan seberapa seringnya suatu aksi terjadi Past perfect juga dapat kita gunakan untuk menunjukkan intensitas sebuah momen yang terjadi di masa lampau. Nah, ada yang spesial, guys. Time signal yang bisa kamu pakai untuk fungsi ini adalah adverbial of frequency yang sering kita temukan di simple present tense. Rumusnya menjadi seperti ini Adverb of frequency Twice/two times/three times/everyday/every two days/etc., + before + simple past tense Perhatikan pada contoh berikut I had read the book two times before I watched the movie. Saya telah membaca buku itu tiga kali sebelum saya menonton film-nya. She had learned twice before the test. Dia telah belajar dua kali sebelum ujian. 3. Menyatakan suatu harapan Apakah kamu termasuk orang yang suka berharap dan membuat angan-angan? Jika iya, yuk, coba membuat harapan menggunakan past perfect tense. Kalau kamu masih ingat, kalimat berandai-andai dalam bahasa Inggris dikenal sebagai conditional sentence. Nah, conditional sentence pada fungsi ini adalah type 3, yaitu untuk menunjukkan kalau ada situasi atau kondisi yang seharusnya bisa terjadi di masa lalu. Jika digunakan untuk berandai-andai, maka pada rumusnya terdapat beberapa tambahan, yaitu If + past perfect tense + would/should/could/might + have + past participle verb 3. Iya, jadi sebetulnya tetap menggunakan past perfect tense, tapi ada tambahan rumus lainnya, hehe. Berikut contoh kalimatnya Vincen would have helped you if you asked for it. Vincen akan menolong kamu jika kamu memintanya untuk itu. Artinya, karena di masa lampau kamu tidak meminta pertolongan ke Vincen, jadi Vincen tidak membantu. Padahal, seandainya dulu kamu minta pertolongan ke Vincen, dia akan membantumu. 4. Berfungsi untuk membuat reported speech dan reported text Reported speech adalah kalimat yang digunakan untuk menyatakan sebuah berita secara lisan maupun tulisan yang belum pernah kita dengar sebelumnya, dengan catatan berita ini disampaikan kepada kita oleh orang lain. Adapun verb yang bisa digunakan adalah said, told, asked, thought, wondered. Untuk lebih jelasnya, lihat contoh ini The boss had said it would be a long meeting. Bos telah mengatakan itu akan menjadi pertemuan yang panjang. My friend told that her mom had changed to be a better woman. Teman saya mengatakan bahwa ibunya telah berubah menjadi wanita yang lebih baik. 5. Untuk menunjukkan bahwa suatu tindakan terjadi sebelum waktu tertentu di masa lalu Nah, pada fungsi ini, kamu dapat menyatakan suatu kejadian yang terjadi di masa lampau sebelum waktu tertentu spesifik. Contohnya adalah sebagai berikut Rina had established her company before 2008. Rina telah mendirikan perusahaannya sebelum 2008. I had fallen asleep before eight o’clock. Saya tertidur sebelum jam delapan. 6. Menunjukkan ketidakpuasan terhadap masa lalu Kamu pernah nggak, mengalami suatu kejadian di masa lampau, tapi ternyata kejadian tersebut memberikan kesan tidak puas terhadap diri sendiri? Kalau iya, maka kamu bisa coba buat kalimatnya menggunakan past perfect tense. Bagaimana jika diterapkan dalam kalimat? The boy wished he had asked another question. Anak itu berharap dia mengajukan pertanyaan lain. We wished we had purchased the winning ticket. Kami berharap kami telah membeli tiket yang menang. 7. Digunakan dengan tambahan + just Past perfect tense juga bisa digunakan dengan kata “just”. Jika just digabungkan dengan rumus dari past perfect tense, maka akan menegaskan bahwa ada suatu kejadian di masa lampau yang terjadi beberapa saat sebelumnya. Contoh penerapan dalam kalimat He had just put the dog on the leash when we got there. Dia baru saja mengikat anjingnya ketika kami tiba di sana. The bus had just left when we got to the stop. Bus baru saja pergi ketika kami sampai di halte. Apa Saja Contoh Kalimat Past Perfect Tense? Berikut ini 50 contoh kalimat past perfect tense I had eaten breakfast before I left for work.
