过去完成时的构成为“had＋过去分词”。过去完成时表示在过去某一时间或动作之前已经发生或完成了的动作或存在的状态。它表示句子中描述的动作发生在“过去的过去”。

2．Basic use

(1)过去完成时表示在过去某个动作或某个具体的时间之前已经发生、完成的动作或存在的状态，即表示“过去的过去”。

hardly/scarcely/rarely/no sooner置于句首时，主句部分倒装，从句不倒装。

(3)有些动词，如hope、expect、think、intend、mean、suppose等，用过去完成时表示“原本打算做而未做某事”。

2．构成

(1)肯定结构：主语＋had beendone

(2)否定结构：主语＋had not beendone

3．用法

(1)在told、said、 knew、heard、thought、found等动词后的宾语从句中，表示宾语从句中的动作已被做完时，要用过去完成时的被动语态。
