The Past Perfect Tense.

The Past Perfect tense употребляется для выражения прошедшего действия, которое уже

совершилось до определенного момента или до другого действия в прошлом: We have finished our task by Saturday.

The Past Perfect tense образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to have в прошедшем времени (had) и третьей основной формы смыслового глагола:

I (you, he, she, it, we, they) had finished homework by that time.

В отрицательной форме частица not ставится после вспомогательного глагола:

В вопросах к подлежащему порядок слов не изменяется:
