2.过去完成时的用法
A. 动作在过去某个动作或时间之前已经发生或完成。如:

B. 表示从过去某一时刻一直延续到过去另一时刻的动作或状态,常和for, since等连用。如:I had been at school for two hours when they came.

1)by+过去的时间点,如: by then, by that time.
2)by the end of+过去的时间点。
3)before+过去的时间点。

When I got to the station, the train had already left.

Making comparisons:
2、过去完成时与一般过去时的区别:
1). 时间状语不同: 过去完成时在时间上强调 “过去的过去”; 而一般过去时只强调过去某一特定的时间。如:
They had arrived at the station by ten yesterday. 他们昨天十点钟之前就已经到了车站。
They arrived at the station at ten yesterday. 他们昨天十点钟到的车站。
2). 在没有明确的过去时间状语作标志时, 谓语动词动作发生的时间先后须依据上下文来判断: 先发生的用过去完成时,后发生的,则用一般过去时.
She was very happy. Her whole family were pleased with her, too. She had just won the first in the competition. 她非常高兴,她全家对她也非常满意。她在比赛中赢得了第一。
3). 当两个或两个以上的接连发生的动作用and 或but 连接时,按时间顺序,只需用一般过去时来代替过去完成时; 另外, 在before, after, as soon as 引导的从句中,由于这些连词本身已经表示出时间的先后,因此也可以用过去时来代替过去完成时。
He entered the room, turned on the light and read an evening paper.
她进了房间,打开灯,接着看起了报纸。
I (had) called her before I left the office. 我在离开办公室前给她打了电话。
3、过去完成时与现在完成时的区别
现在完成时表示的动作发生在过去, 但侧重对现在的结果或造成的影响, 与现在有关,其结构为 “助动词have(has)+过去分词”; 过去完成时则是一个相对的时态, 它所表示的动作不仅发生在过去, 更强调 “过去的过去”, 只有和过去某时或某个动作相比较时, 才用到它。 I have learned 1000 English words so far. 到目前为止我已经学会了1000个英语单词。
I had learned 1000 English words till then. 到那时为止我已经学会了1000个英语单词。
—I’m sorry to keep you waiting. 对不起,让你久等了。
—Oh, not at all. I have been here only a few minutes. 没什么,我只等了几分钟。
—John returned home yesterday. 约翰昨天回到家的。
—Where had he been 他去哪儿了?

Record after teaching
Period Eight Grammar and usage (II)
Ⅰ.Teaching Aim:
Compare the use of the past tense, the present perfect tense and the past perfect tense.
Ⅱ.Teaching important point:
When do we use the past tense, the present perfect tense and the past perfect tense
Ⅲ.Teaching difficult point:
How to use the past tense, the present perfect tense and the past perfect tense correctly.
Ⅳ.Teaching Methods:
1. Inductive method
2. Comparative method
Ⅴ.Teaching Aids:
1. A multimedia
2. A blackboard
Ⅵ.Teaching Procedures:
Step 1 Revision
Ask students to revise the past perfect tense and translate these sentences.
1. 她在来学院前已学过一些英语。
2. 他说他在国外呆了三年了。
3. 到那时他已学了四年英语了。
4. 到那时为止,他对此仍一无所知。
5. 我刚到家大雨就倾盆而下。
6. 我们十年没这么高兴了。
7. 那是我第一次考试及格。

6. It was / had been ten years since we had had such a wonderful time.
7. That was my first time that I had passed the exam.
8. I had meant to help you, but I was too busy at the moment.
Step 2 Making comparisons:
过去完成时与一般过去时的区别:
1. 时间状语不同: 过去完成时在时间上强调 “过去的过去”; 而一般过去时只强调过去某一特定的间。如:
They had arrived at the station by ten yesterday. 他们昨天十点钟之前就已经到了车站。
They arrived at the station at ten yesterday. 他们昨天十点钟到的车站。
2. 在没有明确的过去时间状语作标志时, 谓语动词动作发生的时间先后须依据上下文来判断: 先发生的用过去完成时,后发生的,则用一般过去时.
She was very happy. Her whole family were pleased with her, too. She had just won the first in the competition. 她非常高兴,她全家对她也非常满意。她在比赛中赢得了第一。
3. 当两个或两个以上的接连发生的动作用and 或but 连接时,按时间顺序,只需用一般过去时来代替过去完成时; 另外, 在before, after, as soon as 引导的从句中,由于这些连词本身已经表示出时间的先后,因此也可以用过去时来代替过去完成时。
He entered the room, turned on the light and read an evening paper.
她进了房间,打开灯,接着看起了报纸。
I (had) called her before I left the office. 我在离开办公室前给她打了电话。
过去完成时与现在完成时的区别
现在完成时表示的动作发生在过去, 但侧重对现在的结果或造成的影响, 与现在有关,其结构为 “助动词have(has)+过去分词”; 过去完成时则是一个相对的时态, 它所表示的动作不仅发生在过去, 更强调 “过去的过去”, 只有和过去某时或某个动作相比较时, 才用到它。 I have learned 1000 English words so far.到目前为止我已经学会了1000个英语单词。
I had learned 1000 English words till then. 到那时为止我已经学会了1000个英语单词。
—I’m sorry to keep you waiting. 对不起,让你久等了。
—Oh, not at all. I have been here only a few minutes. 没什么,我只等了几分钟。
—John returned home yesterday. 约翰昨天回到家的。
—Where had he been 他去哪儿了?
