on a bad morning? First, I had slept when the clock went off.
Then by the time I ate breakfast, I had hurt my hand with a knife.
Before I went to school, I had gone to the doctor. What about your morning?Lead-inI had forgotten to have breakfast before I going to the office this morning.
今天早晨去办公室之前，我忘记吃早饭了。Lead-in 时态分析：
“去办公室”是发生在过去的事情，而“忘记吃早饭”发生在“去办公室”之前，所以第二个谓语动作发生在第一个谓语之前，是“过去的过去”，要用过去完成时。Lead-in 表示过去某一时间或动作以前已经发生或完成了的动作。它表示动作发生的时间是“过去的过去”。
表示发生在过去的动作对过去的某一点造成的某种影响或结果，用来指定在另一个过去行动之前就已经完成了的一个事件。过去完成时Lead-ine.g. By nine o’clock last night, we had
got 200 pictures from the spaceship.
I had been at the bus stop for 20
minutes when a bus finally came.

factory since 1949.
