Hypothetical situations with Past Perfect
7/21Recursos
El tiempo verbal pasado perfecto es también conocido como “el pasado del pasado”. No permite hablar de eventos ocurridos en el pasado, antes de otro evento, también del pasado. Se trata de un tiempo verbal que incluso nos permite hablar de situaciones hipotéticas o imaginarias ocurridas antes que otra situación.
Situaciones hipotéticas con pasado perfecto
Así como podemos hablar de situaciones hipotéticas con pasado simple, también podemos hacerlo con el pasado perfecto con una estructura gramatical muy similar. Haremos uso de las expresiones “as if” y “as though”, junto con la fórmula had + past participle.
Veamos algunos ejemplos:
- My colleague looked as if had worked all night.
- I sent her a message. But my friend seemed as though she hadn’t checked her messages.
- My friend looked at me as if I had done something horrible.
- I confirmed the time with him. But it sounded as if he had forgotten about our meeting.
Utiliza este vocabulario para hablar del pasado, del pasado, de una forma hipotética de cosas que no sucedieron en realidad o comparar situaciones. Puede parecer algo confuso y complejo hablar de eventos ocurridos antes que otros de forma hipotética, te animo a crear tus propias oraciones sobre hechos ocurridos en el pasado para practicar.
