Bonjour, j'ai besoin d'aide pour mon exo d'anglais: Choose between simple preterit and past perfect. They ____________ (gather) round the barbecue when we _____

Bonjour,

Réponse :

They had gathered round the barbecue when we arrived.

Before they opened their restaurant, they had owned a burger joint.

I had bought my ticket to New York before I discovered you were going too.

Explications :

simple preterit ( actions passées )

past perfect ( actions qui ont eu lieu avant une action passée. C'est du "passé dans le passé". Se forme : had + participe passé )
