過(guò)去完成時(shí)表示過(guò)去某一時(shí)刻或某一動(dòng)作之前已完成的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài)(亦可以說(shuō)是“過(guò)去的過(guò)去”)。過(guò)去完成時(shí)由had加過(guò)去分詞構(gòu)成。
1.1 過(guò)去完成時(shí)的構(gòu)成

否定句:主語(yǔ) + had + not + 過(guò)去分詞...
疑問(wèn)句:Had + 主語(yǔ) + 過(guò)去分詞...?
疑問(wèn)代詞/疑問(wèn)副詞 + had + 主語(yǔ) + 過(guò)去分詞...?
1.2 過(guò)去完成時(shí)的肯定句
句型:主語(yǔ) + had + 過(guò)去分詞...
過(guò)去完成時(shí)的肯定句由助動(dòng)詞had加過(guò)去分詞構(gòu)成:
He had already been to New York earlier in the week.本周早些時(shí)候他去過(guò)紐約。
Jane had just left when you rang.你打電話時(shí)簡(jiǎn)剛走。
1.3 過(guò)去完成時(shí)的否定句
句型:主語(yǔ) + had + not + 過(guò)去分詞...
過(guò)去完成時(shí)的否定句是在助動(dòng)詞had后加not,之后是過(guò)去分詞:

回答方式:Yes,主語(yǔ) + had.
No,主語(yǔ) + had + not.
過(guò)去完成時(shí)的疑問(wèn)句是將助動(dòng)詞had置于主語(yǔ)之前(大寫had的第一個(gè)字母),在句尾加問(wèn)號(hào);這種語(yǔ)序是倒裝語(yǔ)序:
I visited the museum yesterday.—Had you visited it before? —Yes,I had./No,I hadn't.昨天我參觀了這個(gè)博物館。——你以前參觀過(guò)這個(gè)博物館嗎? ——是,我去過(guò)。/沒(méi)有,我以前沒(méi)有去過(guò)。
