I learned the four past tenses: Past simple, past continuous, past perfect, and past perfect continuous. These four are very similar to the four present tenses. The formulas are as follows: Past simple Affirmative: SUBJECT + BASE FORM + ED Negative: SUBJECT DID NOT + BASE FORM QUESTION: DID + SUBJECT + BASE FORM Past continuous Affirmative: SUBJECT + WAS/WERE + VERB+ING Negative: SUBJECT + WAS/WERE + NOT VERB+ING Question: WAS/WERE + SUBJECT + VERB+ING Past perfect Affirmative: SUBJECT + HAD + PAST PARTICIPLE Negative: SUBJECT + HAD + NOT + PAST PARTICIPLE Question: HAD + SUBJECT + PAST PARTICIPLE Past perfect continuous Affirmative: SUBJECT + HAD + BEEN + VERB+ING Negative: SUBJECT + HAD + NOT + BEEN + VERB+ING Question: HAD + SUBJECT + BEEN + VERB+ING One rule that sticks in my mind: Past perfect continuous is used to describe an action or situation that had started in the past and had been continuing up to the point of another past action.
