15 fun ways of practising the Past Perfect
1. Fairytale dominoes This is a game from Intermediate Communication Games that can easily be played without access to the book. Students continue a story by choosing from pictures that they have spread out on the table in front of them, continuing until they bring the story to a conclusion with the very last picture. To […]
1. Fairytale dominoes
This is a game from Intermediate Communication Games that can easily be played without access to the book. Students continue a story by choosing from pictures that they have spread out on the table in front of them, continuing until they bring the story to a conclusion with the very last picture. To make the use of Past Perfect higher, allow them to add pictures to earlier in the story with phrases like “By the time he arrived back at the castle, the witch had already kidnapped the princess”. You can play the same game with other kinds of story such as murders and spy stories (crime vocabulary), science fiction or love stories. If you can’t find suitable pictures, students can play the same game with relevant words on cut up pieces of paper.
2. Alibi game
Half the class are suspects for the murder of someone in the school, and the other half are their alibis. In pairs, they have to create the stories of what they were doing elsewhere at the time of the murder. They are then questioned separately, and the pair with the most differences between their stories are the guilty ones. This is one of the all time classic TEFL games and gets students who are usually shy or uninvolved speaking much more than usual.
3. Business English alibi game
With some careful preparation, the concept of the alibi game can be extended into other fields such as Business English. Prepare slips of paper with typical business daily tasks such as “send a fax”. Students set them out to make an imaginary business day and then try to memorize their own day. Another student then tests them on the order of the events with questions like “Had you already finished lunch when you started gossiping?” or “How many things had you achieved before the meeting with your boss started?” You can also add the Past Continuous by allowing them to place some of the slips of paper vertically to represent things that lasted a longer time during which other things happened (slips of paper placed next to them horizontally).
4. Past Perfect Kim’s GameAnother game that can be played with the same pieces of paper as the Business English Alibi game above is for one student to move around the pieces of paper showing the sequence of events in the day and for the other person to spot and explain the changes, e.g. “Now it says I had already polished my shoes when I put them on, but actually I put my shoes on and then polished them”.
5. Guess what order
A personalized version of the Business English Alibi Game above is for students to guess the order of their partner’s actions yesterday or at the weekend. One student says two things they did and their partner has to make a true sentence, keeping the same order in the sentence as they were said in, e.g. “When you had a shower, you had already finished breakfast” or “You had a shower and then you had breakfast”. This activity can also be used to contrast the Past Perfect and Past Continuous.
6. Guess the sequence
An longer version of Guess The Order above that has more vocabulary in it is for students to show their partner a mixed up list of 10 things they did yesterday or at the weekend and for their partner to put them in order using questions like “Had you already left the office when you phoned your wife?”
7. Yesterday’s schedule spot the differences
Give them schedules with differences of order of the events to ask and answer questions about such as “How many times had you studied maths by the end of school on Thursday?”
8. Texts spot the difference
This is similar to Yesterday’s Schedule Spot the Difference, but involves reading and therefore maybe more useful language input. Give them two texts that have the same events in a different order, e.g. texts of what people said during alibi interrogation. This can be used as the lead in to the Alibi Game above.
9. Guess what happened next
A student says the Past Perfect part of a true sentence about themselves and their partner tries to guess the true Simple Past part, e.g. “I had been sacked” “You had been sacked from your previous job when you entered this company?” “Wrong! That was from the job before last”
10. Sentence completion guessing game
Give students ten to twenty sentence stems that you know that most people can complete almost all of in some way, e.g. “When I joined this class…” or “I had never felt more excited before in my life when…” Tell them to complete at least half the sentences. They then read out only the part they have written and their partners guess which sentence it is a completion of, e.g. “I had already worked in twenty three places” “When you started in your present company?” “No. Try again.” “By the time you started university?” “That’s right!” “Wow! How come?”
11. Your partner’s day backwards (the Memento game)Starting when their partner went to bed, students see how many true sentences they can make about things they did before that, working backwards slowly, e.g. “When you went to bed, you had already brushed your teeth” “That’s right” “When you brushed your teeth, you had already had a shower” “Wrong! I had a shower after I cleaned my teeth. My turn.”
12. Who had been busier competition
Choose a time of day yesterday and students try to prove they had been busier or more productive up to then than their partner, e.g. “By 6 pm yesterday, I had typed 20 A4 pages” “That’s nothing. By 6pm yesterday I had made 20 phone calls” “Really? I still think typing is more difficult though…”
13. Past participle pron SNAP/ pellmanism
Doing the Past Perfect is a good opportunity to spend some time on the pronunciation of the Past Participle. One way of improving their pronunciation while actually making the process seem simpler rather than more complicated is get them to match up past participles like “bought” and “caught” by their vowel sound (students often overcomplicate things by trying to make sounds that don’t exist in English to show distinctions in spelling when in fact the pronunciation is exactly the same). This will also help them learn the forms so that they can produce them automatically and so can concentrate on using Past Perfect in the right situations.
14. Vowel sound brainstorm
Another way of practicing the vowel sounds of the Past Participle is to get students to race to write as many as they can with a particular vowel sound within the (2 to 5 minute) time limit. After going through their answers, you can get them to repeat the process, but this time writing sentences with those past participles out in full.
15. I’ve been had!Another difficulty associated with the pronunciation of the Past Perfect is using “’d” (because using the whole word “had” can seem too emphatic, as if you are contradicting someone) and spotting the difference between “’d” = had and “’d” = would in context. Students listen to sentences including “had” (because it is a short answer or a contradiction), “’d = would” or “’d = had” and only react when they hear the third of those forms, for example by racing to put their hands up as quickly as possible or slapping their card on their table before their partner does.
This is a game from Intermediate Communication Games that can easily be played without access to the book.

Past Perfect - ESL EFL Activities, Worksheets and Games
Explanations
ESL EFL Reading and Speaking Activity - Pre-intermediate - 25 Minutes
Here is an amusing speaking game to help students practice the past perfect tense. The class is divided into groups of four. Each group is given a set of situation cards, which they shuffle and place face down in a pile on the desk. Students then take it in turns to pick up a card and read the sentence aloud to the rest of the group, e.g. 'I slept in my car all night'. The other students have to each come up with an explanation for the situation using the past perfect, e.g. 'I slept in my car all night, because the car had broken down and I was miles from home'. Each explanation the students give must be different. Students receive one point for each believable explanation they can come up with. Then the next student picks up a card and so on. This continues until all the cards have been used. The student with the highest number of points at the end of the game wins.

I wish and If only
ESL EFL Reading and Writing Activity - Pre-intermediate - 30 Minutes
In this teaching activity, students play a game where they use 'I wish' and 'If only' + 'the past perfect' to express regrets about health problems. The class is divided into teams of three. A health problem is read out to the class (e.g. 'I've got a toothache'.) and a time limit of two minutes is set. The teams then write down as many regrets as they can for the ailment using 'I wish' and 'If only' + 'the past perfect'. For example, 'I wish I hadn’t eaten so many sweets'. 'If only I had gone to the dentist more often', etc. When the time limit has been reached, the teams stop writing and swap their paper with another team for marking. Teams score one point for each appropriate regret in the past perfect. The scores are written on the board and the next health problem is read out, and so on. The team with the highest score at the end of the game is the winner.

Past Perfect Party
ESL EFL Reading and Writing Activity - Pre-intermediate - 30 Minutes
In this productive worksheet activity, students write emails describing a series of events in the past simple and past perfect. Each student is given a copy of the worksheet. The students read through a scenario about a disastrous party. The students then match problems that happened at the party with explanations of what happened. After the students have done that, they write an email about the party using the past simple to talk about the problems and the past perfect to explain what happened. When everyone has finished, the students read their emails to the class. Afterwards, students use the past simple and past perfect to write a reply to the email, detailing the unfortunate events that happened to someone else. Finally, the students read their completed emails to the class and feedback is given.

Truth Seekers
ESL EFL Matching, Listening and Speaking Activity - Pre-intermediate - 25 Minutes
In this fun worksheet activity, students use the past perfect to ask and answer questions about their experiences of growing up. Each student is given a copy of the worksheet. The students begin by matching an activity with one of the pictures on the worksheet and writing the activity under the picture. After the answers have been checked, the students put a cross through one activity in each category. The students are then divided into pairs. Students take it in turns to ask and answer questions about the activities in the pictures using the past perfect, e.g. 'Had you broken a bone by the time you were seven?' When a partner asks about the activities that are crossed out, students have to lie about their experiences. When talking about experiences that are not crossed out, students tell the truth. Their partner then asks follow-up questions to help them find out if the student is telling the truth or lying. Their partner then guesses whether the student is lying or telling the truth and the answer is revealed. For each correct guess, students win a point. The student with the most points at the end of the activity is the winner.

What had happened?
ESL EFL Reading, Writing, Matching and Speaking Activity - Pre-intermediate - 35 Minutes
In this fun pairwork activity, students play a card game where they complete and match past simple sentences with explanations in the past perfect. The students are divided into pairs and each pair is given a set of number cards. Each card contains an incomplete past simple sentence. The students look at each sentence and think about what had happened and how the sentence might be continued using the past perfect. Students do this orally or by writing their ideas on a piece of paper. Afterwards, the students give their ideas and the teacher checks their use of the past perfect. Each pair is then given a set of letter cards. Each card contains the second part of one of the past simple sentences. The students spread both sets of cards out on the table face up. Students then take it in turns to match each past simple sentence with an explanation. Each time a student matches two cards together, they complete the gap with the verb in brackets in the past perfect tense and keep the two cards. When everyone has finished, the correct answers are checked with the class. Students score one point for each correctly matched and completed pair of cards. The student with the highest score in each pair wins the game.

Why did you say that?
ESL EFL Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking and Matching Activity - Pre-intermediate - 25 Minutes
In this entertaining worksheet activity, students write explanations for saying certain things using the past perfect tense and then play a game where they match a partner's explanations to questions. Each student is given a copy of the worksheet. The students write explanations in the past perfect tense for saying the things shown on their worksheet, e.g. 'Why did you say 'I'm sorry' to your friend?' 'I had forgotten her birthday'. When all the explanations have been written down, the students are divided into pairs. Students then take it in turns to read one of their explanations at random to their partner. Their partner has one chance to try to match the explanation to the right 'Why did you say...?' question. If a student makes a correct match, he or she wins a point. This continues back and forth until all the past perfect explanations have been read out. The student with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Fact or Fiction
ESL EFL Reading, Writing and Speaking Activity - Intermediate - 40 Minutes
In this creative worksheet activity, students write realistic and imaginative explanations for situations using the past perfect tense. Each pair of students is given a copy of the worksheet. The students write two explanations for each situation on their worksheet - a realistic explanation (Fact) and an imaginative explanation (Fiction). When everyone has finished writing, the class votes for the most realistic and imaginative explanations. The teacher reads out the first situation from the worksheet, i.e. 'I walked into class, but I didn’t recognize anyone'. The pairs then take it in turns to read their ‘Fact’ explanation to the class using the past perfect, e.g. 'You had walked into the wrong class'. The class then votes for the most realistic explanation and one point is awarded to the winning pair. The pairs then read out their 'Fiction' explanations, e.g. 'You had lost your memory'. Again, the class votes for the best one. This process continues with the second situation and so on. The pair with the highest number of points at the end of the activity is the winner.

The Other Half
ESL EFL Reading, Writing, Listening and Matching Activity - Intermediate - 35 Minutes
In this engaging worksheet activity, students complete and match sentences in the past perfect tense. Each student is given a copy of the first worksheet. The students think about how the 15 sentences on the worksheet might be continued. The students then complete the sentences in the past perfect tense using their own ideas. After that, the students are divided into pairs. The students compare their sentences by reading them to each other. Each student is then given an A or B worksheet. Student A starts by reading the first sentence half to Student B. Student B listens and tries to find the other half of the sentence. When Student B thinks they have found a matching ending, they read it to Student A. When both students agree the two halves match, they mark the matching number or letter next to the sentence. This continues until all the sentence halves have been matched. Afterwards, the answers are checked with the class. Finally, the students check how many sentences were the same as what they wrote on the first worksheet.

15 more fun ways to practise the Past Perfect
1. The Time is Right! This is based on the television quiz show “The Price is Right” in which contestants see how close they can get to the real price of a product without going under. A student gives an event or a number of times they had done something before a certain (unstated) time, and […]
1. The Time is Right!
This is based on the television quiz show “The Price is Right” in which contestants see how close they can get to the real price of a product without going under. A student gives an event or a number of times they had done something before a certain (unstated) time, and the other students see how close they can get to it going back in time but without going earlier than the event. For example, one student says “Visit Italy twice” and students outbid each other with sentences like “You had visited Italy twice by the beginning of this year”, “You had visited Italy twice before you finished university” and “You had visited Italy twice before you started university”. Any sentences that give a time before the real time are discounted, and the closest sentence then wins.
2. This one or last one?Students say something that happened in this course or before it, and the other students guess which one it is, e.g. “Study Past Perfect” “You had already studied Past Perfect before you entered this class”. Other possibilities include “Have a British teacher”, “Done an IELTS practice test” and “Studied an intensive course”. The same game can be played with work experience in their present job or before.
3. This one or last one? roleplayThis is similar to “This One or Last One?” above. One student is someone quitting their job and the other student is their boss or HR manager. According to the terms of their contract, if they leave after working less than 3 years they have to pay their company back for any experience they gained there. The manager tries to discover things that they have done in their present job and had never done before that they must therefore pay for, e.g. “In your present job you have used SAP software, haven’t you?” “Yes, I have. I’ll pay you 100 dollars for that experience.”/ “No, I haven’t”/ “Yes, but I’d already done that before I joined this company”. They can’t lie.
4. You had messed it upOne student steps out of the room, and all the other students change some things in the room. The student comes back into the room, and the other students change some more things. The person who stepped out of the room is then tested on which changes happened when, e.g. “When I came back into the room, you had already…” or “You …. after I came back into the room” These can either be in response to questions or just as many things as they can remember.
5. Already seenA student looks at one picture for two minutes, then at four pictures including that one for one minute more. Their partner then tests them on the content of all four pictures and guesses which of the pictures their partner had seen for longer, e.g. “You had already seen picture B”.
6. I gawpedStudents are given pictures of a crash scene before, during and after the crash, and then test each other on their memory of the pictures and which things were in which picture with questions such as “Had the old lady already finished crossing the road when the crash happened?”
7. Who was more mature?Students try to outdo each other with their experiences up to a certain age with questions like “When you turned 21, had you already lived away from home?” “No, I hadn’t.” “I had, so one point for me.”
8. Trace the routeStudents draw an around the world trip on a map and their partner asks yes/ no questions to draw their partner’s route, e.g. “Did you go to Bangkok after Bali?” “No, we had already been to Bangkok when we went to Bali.”/ “No, we didn’t go to Bangkok at all”/ “Yes, but we had already been to one more place before we arrived in Bangkok”. The same thing can work for routes around a town (names of shops and prepositions of position), places in a school, a galaxy (scientific vocabulary), a factory etc.
9. Guess where
This similar to “Guess Who” above. Students draw a route and then mark one place on it where something bad happened, e.g. a crime in the airport (travel vocabulary). Students then ask yes/ no questions until they find the exact point, e.g. “Had you already checked in?” This can be done with the students not knowing the route the person took or (easier) knowing the route and just trying to find one point on it.
10. I’d done it better
One student does something twice, doing it in a slightly different order the second time. Their partner then corrects them, e.g. “Last time, you had already put the milk in before you poured the tea”. This is good for Technical English and Medical English classes.
11. Our Stories
Students work together to put a worksheet of pictures or words in some order to make a story, without writing anything down to remind them what the story was. They split up to tell their story separately to another pair, and are then told the contradictions between how they both told the story, i.e. what mistakes one of them made when telling it.
12. I had been punished enoughStudents are split into groups and decide on punishments for people who have committed particular crimes. In each group, half the people had previous convictions (written in the Past Perfect) and half the people didn’t. Compare the punishments from the different groups and discuss whether they think they have given the right amount of importance to having a criminal record or not.
13. Deliberately repetitive storyStudents write a story, and add one of the events a second time, e.g. brushing their teeth once after dinner and another time before they go to bed. Their partner has to listen carefully to the story and identify the deliberate mistake with sentences like “But you said you had already shot him dead before the police arrived”. This can also be done with the students being given the story (rather than writing it) and adding the repeated action themselves.
14. Past Perfect revision revision
Students test each other on the order they studied things in the book, e.g. “Had we already read about the man with 15 jobs when we studied the Present Perfect tense?” This obviously connects well with revision for a progress test.
15. My favourite momentStudents pick one point in a story written in past tenses, e.g. what they think the most interesting moment is or one containing the most important new vocabulary, and students ask questions about what happened before and after that moment to guess which moment it is.

3. This one or last one? roleplayThis is similar to “This One or Last One?” above. One student is someone quitting their job and the other student is their boss or HR manager. According to the terms of their contract, if they leave after working less than 3 years they have to pay their company back for any experience they gained there. The manager tries to discover things that they have done in their present job and had never done before that they must therefore pay for, e.g. “In your present job you have used SAP software, haven’t you?” “Yes, I have. I’ll pay you 100 dollars for that experience.”/ “No, I haven’t”/ “Yes, but I’d already done that before I joined this company”. They can’t lie.
4. You had messed it upOne student steps out of the room, and all the other students change some things in the room. The student comes back into the room, and the other students change some more things. The person who stepped out of the room is then tested on which changes happened when, e.g. “When I came back into the room, you had already…” or “You …. after I came back into the room” These can either be in response to questions or just as many things as they can remember.
5. Already seenA student looks at one picture for two minutes, then at four pictures including that one for one minute more. Their partner then tests them on the content of all four pictures and guesses which of the pictures their partner had seen for longer, e.g. “You had already seen picture B”.
6. I gawpedStudents are given pictures of a crash scene before, during and after the crash, and then test each other on their memory of the pictures and which things were in which picture with questions such as “Had the old lady already finished crossing the road when the crash happened?”
7. Who was more mature?Students try to outdo each other with their experiences up to a certain age with questions like “When you turned 21, had you already lived away from home?” “No, I hadn’t.” “I had, so one point for me.”
8. Trace the routeStudents draw an around the world trip on a map and their partner asks yes/ no questions to draw their partner’s route, e.g. “Did you go to Bangkok after Bali?” “No, we had already been to Bangkok when we went to Bali.”/ “No, we didn’t go to Bangkok at all”/ “Yes, but we had already been to one more place before we arrived in Bangkok”. The same thing can work for routes around a town (names of shops and prepositions of position), places in a school, a galaxy (scientific vocabulary), a factory etc.
9. Guess where
This similar to “Guess Who” above. Students draw a route and then mark one place on it where something bad happened, e.g. a crime in the airport (travel vocabulary). Students then ask yes/ no questions until they find the exact point, e.g. “Had you already checked in?” This can be done with the students not knowing the route the person took or (easier) knowing the route and just trying to find one point on it.
10. I’d done it better
One student does something twice, doing it in a slightly different order the second time. Their partner then corrects them, e.g. “Last time, you had already put the milk in before you poured the tea”. This is good for Technical English and Medical English classes.
11. Our Stories
Students work together to put a worksheet of pictures or words in some order to make a story, without writing anything down to remind them what the story was. They split up to tell their story separately to another pair, and are then told the contradictions between how they both told the story, i.e. what mistakes one of them made when telling it.
12. I had been punished enoughStudents are split into groups and decide on punishments for people who have committed particular crimes. In each group, half the people had previous convictions (written in the Past Perfect) and half the people didn’t. Compare the punishments from the different groups and discuss whether they think they have given the right amount of importance to having a criminal record or not.
13. Deliberately repetitive storyStudents write a story, and add one of the events a second time, e.g. brushing their teeth once after dinner and another time before they go to bed. Their partner has to listen carefully to the story and identify the deliberate mistake with sentences like “But you said you had already shot him dead before the police arrived”. This can also be done with the students being given the story (rather than writing it) and adding the repeated action themselves.
14. Past Perfect revision revision
Students test each other on the order they studied things in the book, e.g. “Had we already read about the man with 15 jobs when we studied the Present Perfect tense?” This obviously connects well with revision for a progress test.
15. My favourite momentStudents pick one point in a story written in past tenses, e.g. what they think the most interesting moment is or one containing the most important new vocabulary, and students ask questions about what happened before and after that moment to guess which moment it is.

Past perfect aspect – tips and activities
Introduction
The concept of the past perfect is easier to grasp than that of the present perfect (see teaching tip for present perfect) partly because the event is usually clearly in the past. Still, when discussing the use of past perfect in relation to the past it is worthwhile to highlight the perfect aspect, as this may help make sense of the present perfect. For example, a quick explanation could be:
The past perfect can be used to communicate something before the past or looking back from a past moment in time. This is what perfect means. The use of a timeline also works particularly well with this explanation. For example, the sentence:
She had left the party when he arrived.
Can be illustrated like this:
The past perfect is usually dealt with after the present perfect. The activities below are for intermediate level students and higher.
Activity: Join the sentences
A simple exercise to manipulate and focus on form involves joining two sentences together.
Tony got out of bed. Before that, he drank a cup of coffee.
When Tony had drunk a cup of coffee he got out of bed.
This is why many teachers would call a “Murphy” type activity (based on Raymond Murphy’s Essential Grammar in Use series – Cambridge University Press). With just a little adjustment it can be personalized.Change the sentences to the first person singular.
I got out of bed this morning. Before that, I drank a cup of coffee.
First students combine the two sentences.
When I had drunk a cup of coffee I got out of bed this morning.
Then ask them to change it into a question:
Had you drunk a cup of coffee when you got out of bed this morning?
They then ask this question to other students in the group. Not convinced by the example sentence? Try these:
You can make your own sentences that are relevant to the students’ lives.
Activity: What had happened?
When using the past perfect to explain what had happened earlier in the past you could set up a situation in which the students speculate on what could have happened. Here is a useful activity:
Write up, or project, the following text on the board. Ask a student to read it aloud. Tell students to work in pairs and finish the last sentence of the paragraph (it’s pretty certain that it will be in the past perfect). Ask each pair to compare with another pair, and then with another. Elicit the best possible conclusions to the paragraph.
When he opened the door he was shocked. There were clothes all over the floor. His bookshelves were empty and the books were in a big messy pile. There was paper everywhere. The bathroom was also a mess: broken glass on the floor, his bottle of favourite shampoo gone. He looked around and knew immediately what had happened. They …
You can do this activity the other way around. Give them the last sentence and ask them to reconstruct the rest. Sample last sentences:
Activity: What's the difference?
There are times when the use of past perfect is essential to avoid confusion of when something happened. Compare the following two sentences:
To check students' understanding of the difference, give the following sentences and ask them which sentence it most logically follows: A or B.
You can do similar exercises with the following sentences, or invent your own.
Activity: Regrets, I've had a few ...
To practise the use of hypothetical past with the past perfect, a variety of exercises dealing with the function of expressing regret can be used.
Think of some regrets you’ve had in the past and prepare a list of sentences like the following:
Write on the board the keywords for each sentence. In this case, it would look like the following:
Explain to the class the regrets you have (using the sentence stem I wish I had/hadn’t …), elaborating on them a little. When you are finished, tell students to write your regrets out in full sentences. Check back that they have got the correct structure.
Activity: Write on the board
Ask students to complete these sentence stems in as many different ways as they can with true information about themselves. Then tell them to compare their regrets with a partner.
Note: You could do the same exercise using the sentence stem If only I had …

Mr Bean Narrative tensa
(Pasado Perfecto y Pasado Continuo)
Intenta combinar los pares o grupos de oraciones a continuación en una oración verdadera sobre el cortometraje que vas a ver. Para hacerlo, tendrá que adivinar qué cosa sucedió primero o si sucedieron al mismo tiempo, por lo que tal vez cambie algunos tiempos, cambie la puntuación y agregue palabras como adverbios. No puede cambiar el orden de las oraciones (de modo que debe usar una gramática más compleja para corregir las oraciones). Las oraciones están en el mismo orden que la película.

La chica hizo cola . Mr Bean arrojó su muñeca.
Los hombres comenzaron a pelear. Mr Bean pellizcó uno de los fondos de los hombres .
