Question

Open the brakets in the Past Simple or the Past Perfect Tense:
1)My friend (to tell) me that he (to pass) the exam in the morning.
2) The children (to have/already) supper when their parents (to come) home.​

Answer 1

Ответ:

1) My friend told me that he had passed the exam in the morning.

2) The children had already had supper when their parents came home.​

Объяснение:

Past Perfect передает действие, которое завершилось к моменту в прошлом. В данном случае момент в прошлом выражен в предложениях с Рast Simple.

Например:
My friend told me that he had passed the exam in the morning. - К тому моменту, когда друг сказал, он уже сдал экзамен. - Соответственно, "сдал экзамен" в Past Perfect.
