Look at this sentence below. How can you turn a sentence from affirmative to negative?

• I had eaten a whole cake so I slept early

For had + past participle, we add the word 'not' in between the verbs. For simple past tense, we add did not before the verb. The verb is now in the root form.

I had not eaten a whole cake so I did not sleep early.

We use the Past Perfect Simple (had + past participle) for an action or situation that finished before another situation in the past.

Is this true or false?

• True

• False

So Past Perfect Simple is used when an action is completely finished before another action in the past

I had bathed for our date when he reached the house.

Die dah habis mandi (had bathed) bile mamat tu muncul. Okay?

What are past particples?

For irregular verbs (ni verb yang berubah bentuk bile bertukar jadi past tense mcm come --> came)

If you open your text book page 174 - 175, the past participles are on the third column.

If the verb is not in the list, it is a regular verb [yang hanya tambah -d: love --> loved/ -ed : walk --> walked/ -ied: rely --> relied]
