 Now let's take a look at some teaching ideas for the past perfect tense. As we said, the past perfect tense is used to relate two past activities to each other. Here we'll ask our students to describe what the person had just done before the photo was taken. Down below we have some prompts for our lower level students who may need some additional help. Here we see be assassinated. Hopefully our students will be able to read this, match it up with the correct picture, and make a statement such as, he had just been assassinated when the photo was taken. Please bear in mind that this activity is quite western-centric. You'll have to adapt the activity for students outside of these areas, which can be done so quite easily.
