Stage 16 Pluperfect Tense Latin II Week 10 Day 1 Spring 2009
The pluperfect tense is a past tense. It is a verb that takes place in the past BEFORE another past action: two past actions, one takes place before the other
For Example: Quintus had escaped from Pompeii before Mt. Vesuvius was able to destroy him. had escaped = pluperfect was able = imperfect
For Example: The Cantiaci ship sank beneath the waves because Belimicus had ignored the rocks hidden under the sea. had ignored = pluperfect sank= perfect
Both actions took place in the past. However, one action took place before the other action. The pluperfect tense is always the earlier of the two actions.
