If you remember…
“Past Perfect” is a cyclical time that took an action from the past
that was important in another point of the past, before, at the
same time or after:
Examples:
•
I
had taken
some medicine before the visit.
•
The students
had flown
to Bahamas after the Huricane.
•
Trevor
had fed
the animals in the pen before 7 a.m.
•
Sulleyman
had finished
the quiz at the same time that Bob.
To change to Passive:
We need to identify :
•
The Subject, +
“Verb to have (had)” +
Verb in “Past Participle”
and Object.
For example
:
“Corina
had eaten
sea food before
breakfast.”
Becomes:
“Seafood
had been eaten
by Corina
before breakfast”.
“Sheyla and Sue
had sent
the
messages after 10:00 a.m.”
Becomes:
“The messages
had been sent
by
Sheyla and Sue adter 10:00 a.m.”
The formula
ACTIVE VOICE
•
Subject + “had” + Verb (Past Participle) + Object
PASSIVE VOICE
•
Object + “had
BEEN
”+ Verb (Past Participle) by Subject.
