Simple Past and Past Perfect Exercises

Bold the times and classify them

Susan had a party last week.


She had invited all her friends to her house. She had invited her friends from work, her friends from
university, and her friends from her neighborhood. The guests started arriving at around 7 o’clock for
dinner.
Susan’s best friend, Cindy, was there, wearing a red dress. And Susan’s boyfriend, Tom, was
wearing a blue suit and looked very handsome.
Cindy’s boyfriend wasn’t there, because he was travelling for business. He was negotiating a big
contract in Sao Paolo that day. He had left the day before, and wouldn’t be back for two more days.
Susan had made lasagna, which was very good. She had made enough lasagna for 30 people! She
had also made salad and stuffed eggplant. Everything was delicious.

E.g. 1. Susan had a party = simple past
