过去完成时的构成是have的过去时had作为助动词，其后接普通动词的过去分词。例如：

Until lat March, Andy had played in every game. 到去年３月，安迪参加了所有的比赛。

We had won all our games before that.在那之前我们嬴了所有的比赛。

It was the first game that we had lost all year. 这是一年中我们输的第一场比赛。

过去完成时中没有根据人称而变化的情况：

I/you/he/she/it/we/thety had plyed.

规则动词的过去分词和它的过去式同形：

play-played-played         work-worked-worked      wash-washed-washed      arrive-arrived-arrived

不规则动词中也有过去分词和它的过去式相同的情况：

win-won-won     sleep-slept-slept      find-found-dound

但是，多数不规则动词的过去分词和过去式的形式是有些不同的：

see-saw-seen       do-did-dodne       swim-swam-swum

 

使用勃勃悍提出疑问的时候，主语和助动词的位置互相调换。如：

Had he played golf before that?在那之前他打高尔夫球了吗？

 

过去完成时的否定句是在had 的后面、普通动词的前面加入not来表示：

I had not met him then.那时我还没有见过他。

She had not arrived when I left.我离开的时候，她还没有到。

 

口语中人们经常使用过去完成时的缩写形式：

I had worked"I’d worked      You had won"You’d won         They had finished"They’d finished

在否定句的情况下有两种写方法：

I had not finished"I hadn’t finished

                I’d not finished

You had not won"You hadn’t won

                You’d not won
