I. Struktur Past Perfect Tense

1. (+) I had been there. / I'd been there.
   (?) Had I been there?
   (-) I had not been there. / I hadn't been there
2. (+) He had worked hard. / He'd worked hard.
   (?) Had he worked hard?
   (-) He had not worked hard. / He hadn't worked hard.
3. (+) They had gone away. / They'd gone away.
   (?) Had they gone away?
   (-) They had not gone away. / They hadn't gone away.

1. Untuk kalimat tanya (interrogative / question), letakkan kata kerja bantu "had" di depan subyek. Contoh; "Had they gone?"
2. Untuk kalimat menyangkal (negative), tambahkan "not" di belakang kata kerja bantu "had". Contoh; "They hadn't gone?"
3. Dalam percakapan, had seringkali disingkat dengan cara yang sama seperti saat kita menyingkat kata would menjadi 'd. Perbedaannya ada pada kata kerja yang mengikutinya. Pada Past Perfect tense, 'd selalu diikuti oleh verb-3 (past participle), sedangkan kata "would" yang disingkat menjadi 'd selalu diikuti oleh verb-1 (infinitive). Contoh:
   • They'd gone = They had gone.
   • They'd go = They would go.
   • She'd sung = She had sung.
   • She'd sing = She would sing.

II. Penggunaan Past Perfect Tense

1. Past Perfect Tense digunakan untuk membicarakan kejadian/tindakan yang terjadi sebelum sebuah kejadian/tindakan lainnya terjadi di waktu lampau. Jadi, Past Perfect Tense menunjukkan kejadian/tindakan yang terjadi lebih dulu sebelum kejadian/tindakan lainnya. Contoh:
   • The train left at 7am. We arrived at 7.10am. When we arrived, the train had left. The train had left when we arrived.
   • The fact that he came late wasn't surprising to me. It had happened a few times before.
2. Past Perfect Tense digunakan sebagai bentuk yang setara dengan Present Perfect tense, misal dalam kalimat tidak langsung (Indirect / Reported speech). Contoh:
   • He said, "I have submitted the report." ~ He said that he had submitted the report.
   • She said, "I've lost my wallet." ~ She said that she had lost his wallet.
3. Past Perfect Tense digunakan dalam kalimat Conditional (If - conditional) tipe ke 3. Kalimat conditional tipe ke 3 ini digunakan untuk mengungkapkan pengandaian tentang kejadian / keadaan di masa lampau yang tidak sesuai dengan fakta yang sebenarnya. Contoh:
   • If you had arrived ten minutes earlier, you wouldn't have missed the train. (Fakta: you didn't arrive ten minutes earlier and you missed the train)
   • He would have been soaking wet if he hadn't worn a raincoat. (Fakta: He wasn't wet because he wore a raincoat.)
4. Sama halnya dengan when pada penggunaan pertama (no. 1) di atas, Past Perfect Tense bisa digunakan bersama Simple Past tense as soon as, the moment, immediately, till/until, before, after untuk menegaskan atau memperjelas bahwa kegiatan atau peristiwa yang dimaksud terjadi atau selesai dilakukan sebelum kegiatan lainnya di masa lampau. Contoh:
   • When he had shut the window, he turned on the AC.
   • Before we had reached the basecamp, the rain poured down.

That day was my first day of school. My family and I had just moved to the city the previous week so I didn’t know anyone there. I went to school on the school bus. Everyone seemed to know one another while I was just sitting quietly in the back row.

When we arrived at school, I got my schedule. It was very tight. I marked Tuesday since there was English, my favorite subject, on the day. Friday would be hard because there were maths and physics. It was a relief that we didn’t have to go to school on Saturday.

At break time, I heard some students complaining about the food in the canteen. I thought it was tasty enough. The only problem I had was where to sit. I felt awkward about joining any table. Fortunately, someone asked me to join her. Patricia was her name and she has become my best friend since that day.

Read the following text and answer questions 36 to 38.
A study has shown that drinking coffee or tea or a combination of the two may be related to a lower risk for stroke and dementia.
Researchers from China's Tianjin Medical University studied 365,682 participants from the UK Biobank, aged 50 to 74. All the participants reported their coffee and tea intake habits. During an average follow-up of 11.4 years for new-onset disease, 5,079 participants developed dementia, and 10,053 had at least one stroke.
According to the study published in PLOS Medicine, people who drank two to three cups of coffee or three to five cups of tea every day, or a combination of four to six cups of coffee and tea, had the lowest incidence of stroke or dementia.
Compared with those who drank neither coffee nor tea, people who drank two to three cups of coffee and two to three cups of tea daily had a 32 percent lower risk of stroke and a 28 percent lower risk of dementia.
Meanwhile, a lower risk of post-stroke dementia was associated with drinking coffee alone or in combination with tea, according to the study.
The researchers also evaluated the link of coffee types with stroke and dementia. Among ground coffee, instant coffee, and decaffeinated coffee, they found that ground coffee drinkers were associated with a much lower risk of dementia, Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.
Coffee is a rich source of antioxidants and bioactive compounds while tea contains caffeine and catechin which have neuroprotective properties, such as anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects.
