'''Past Perfect Tense''' | |||
The past perfect tense is used to express actions that were performed and completed in the past. | |||
In English, you would form this tense by using the auxiliary “had,” followed by the third form of the main verb: | |||
* [had] + eaten = had eaten | |||
In Hindi, the auxiliary “had” is replaced by one of these terms: | |||
* चुका था (''cukaa'' ''THaa'') | |||
* चुकी थी (''cukii'' ''THii'') | |||
* चुके थे (''cuke'' ''THe'') | |||
For example: | |||
