PAST PERFECT
El pasado perfecto en Inglés es usado para describir acciones que ocurrieron antes de otra acción en el pasado.
Igual que en el presente perfecto, se forma el pasado perfecto con el verbo auxiliar “to have” en pasado “HAD”
y el participio pasado del verbo principal de la oración.
ESTRUCTURAS
1. ORACIONES POSITIVAS
Sujeto + “had” + verbo en participio pasado + complemento

Ejemplos:
I had visited the Louvre before, so I knew where the Mona Lisa was.
(Había visitado el Museo del Louvre antes, así que sabía donde estaba la Mona Lisa.)

They had studied English before they went to London.

(Habían estudiado inglés antes de irse a Londres.)

Henry changed careers because he had worked as an accountant for many years and was bored.
(Henry cambió de profesión porque había trabajado como contable durante muchos años y estaba
aburrido.)

2. ORACIONES NEGATIVAS
Sujeto + “had” + NOT + verbo en participio pasado + complemento

Ejemplos:
I had not visited the Louvre before, so I didn’t know where the Mona Lisa was.
(No había visitado el Museo del Louvre antes, así que no sabía dónde estaba la Mona Lisa.)

They had not studied English before they went to London.

(No habían estudiado inglés antes de irse a Londres.)

Henry changed careers even though he had not worked as an accountant for long.
(Henry cambió de profesión a pesar de que no había trabajado como contable durante mucho tiempo.)
 1. ORACIONES INTERROGATIVAS
Had + sujeto + verbo en participio pasado + complemento + ?

Ejemplos:
How did you know where the Mona Lisa was? Had you visited the Louvre before?
(¿Cómo sabías dónde estaba la Mona Lisa? ¿Habías visitado el Museo del Louvre antes?)

Had they studied English before they went to London?

(¿Habían estudiado inglés antes de irse a Londres?)

Had Henry worked as an accountant for long before he changed careers?

(¿Henry había trabajado como contable durante mucho tiempo antes de cambiar de profesión?)

USOS DEL TIEMPO PASADO PERFECTO

1. Usamos el pasado perfecto para referirnos a una acción o evento que comenzó en el pasado y que es
anterior a otra acción también en el pasado. La acción que ocurrió primero es en pasado perfecto y la que
sigue en pasado simple.

Ejemplos:
I’d read the book before I saw the movie.
(Había leído el libro antes de ver la película.)
Donna had just left when you called.
(Donna había salido justo cuando llamaste.)
Had you ever flown before the trip to France?
(¿Alguna vez habías volado antes del viaje a Francia?)

2. Se usa para acciones que ocurrieron antes de un tiempo específico en el pasado.

Ejemplos:
I had already woken up when the alarm clock rang at 7am.
(Ya me había despertado cuando sonó el despertador a las 7.)
He hadn’t been to France before the trip in 2008.
(No había estado en Francia antes del viaje del 2008.)

3. También, como en el presente perfecto, con algunos verbos usamos el pasado perfecto para situaciones
que empezaron en el pasado y que siguieron hasta un punto específico en el pasado.

Ejemplos:
She had only owned one car before she bought her new BMW.
(Solo había tenido un coche antes de que comprara su nuevo BMW.)
I’d been depressed for a long time before I changed jobs.
(Había estado deprimido durante mucho tiempo antes de que cambiara de trabajo.)

The first time I took my daughter to the movie theater she was 6 and the movie was “Bambi”.
I’m a movies lover, so I had chosen it carefully and thought a cartoon movie would be an
effective introduction to the Seventh Art World.
Everything was going just fine until Bambi’s mother was shot and killed. My daughter got
anguished and asked to go home in the middle of the movie. Fortunately, later choices turned
out OK and she likes movies as much as I do.
My point is: are cartoons really safe for kids? Or do parents need to pay attention to the
type of cartoons kids are watching during their spare time?
Once I sat on the sofa to watch a cartoon with my 8-year-old son and got completely
dumbfounded when I realized a cartoon character was agonizing right in front of us, bleeding
as if it was an action adult movie!
Everybody knows that the cartoon “The Simpsons” doesn’t spread nice manners or behavior,
but what about the “kid stuff” they display in the afternoon for young children?
The next time you take a kid to the movies maybe a cartoon doesn’t make the best choice,
unless you take the time to watch it and analyze its content first. Or you take the risk of
exposing your child to messages s/he isn’t prepared to get yet.

According to the text:

Bambi is a cartoon movie. ( ) true ( ) false
There isn’t violence in cartoon movies. ( ) true ( ) false
Bambi’s father is killed in the movie. ( ) true ( ) false
Children are exposed to violence content watching cartoons. ( ) true ( ) false
Parents shouldn’t worry about the cartoons content. ( ) true ( ) false
“The Simpsons” spreads nice manners and behavior. ( ) true ( ) false
Young children may feel anguished when they are exposed to things they are not
prepared to deal with. ( ) true ( ) false
Before taking a child to the movies, it’s important to check the movie content.
( ) true ( ) false
Cartoons are for kids, so they are safe. ( ) true ( ) false
Are cartoon characters always nice? Support your answer. ________________________

____________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
In some countries, movies are classified from 12 to 18 and every movie classified under 12 is
allowed for children of any age. Do you think the content that is OK for a 12-year-old child
is always proper for younger kids? Why? _____________________________________
