  6. Forms of the past tense • The simple past tells us something has started and finished in the past. They use a past participle verb. • I ate two cakes. • The present perfect suggests either that an action has been completed – ‘perfected’ – or that an action that started in the past now continues in the present • I have eaten all the cakes and now I feel sick • The past perfect is used to refer to something that occurred earlier than the time being considered, which is already in the past • By the end of the party, I had eaten all the cakes and felt very sick.
