 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 current 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 quite easily. Here, we have another teaching idea for the past perfect tense, where we'll ask our students to finish a statement made. We'll have cut these pieces out before our class and distributed them to pairs or small groups. The students will randomly turn their card over and they'll read the beginning of a statement and be challenged to finish it in a logical way. Here, we have, I couldn't sleep because. The student could finish it however they like. Perhaps, I couldn't sleep because I had seen a scary movie. The students will continue on and finish the activity, perhaps getting some feedback of their various sentences.
