Perfect Form of Verbs – Adult Reference & ExamplesThe perfect form of a verb usually brings the reader’s attention to the consequences of a prior (previous) event; e.g. he has gone to the inn implies that he is still away (when we arrive), in contrast with he went to the inn (which happened sometime in the past before we arrive). Had gone to the inn takes a past time point (i.e. when we arrived) as its reference point and is another way of establishing time relations in a text.Form the perfect tense by:turning the verb into its past participle inflection, e.g. walked, taken (as opposed to its present participle, e.g. walking, taking);adding a form of the verb have before it.Further examples of the perfect form of verbs (which are present perfect and which are past perfect forms?):Tim the ostler, had fallen in love with Bess. / Tim the ostler has fallen in love with Bess.The redcoats have drunk some of the landlord’s ale. / The redcoats had drunk some of the landlord’s ale.The wind has blown some leaves off the trees. / The wind had blown some leaves off the trees.The highwayman had promised he would return. / The highwayman has promised he would return.Unit 4 Day 1Perfect Verb FormsAUnderline the perfect verb forms used in the sentences below.The moon had risen over the misty moor.The wind had gusted through the trees earlier that night.Wearing his new hat, the highwayman had decided to visit Bess.She had told him that she would be waiting by the window.They had met secretly before, but Tim had not listened until that night.We have read this poem many times.The ending has surprised many people because they were expecting a happy ending.Noyes has created a poem which continues to be read over a century later.Unit 4 Day 1BSelect the best Verb Form to give clues about time and causesimple pastpast perfectpresent perfectBess as a child went once to a fair.Bess went to a fair.
