Homework

Marie

HELLO [이름], I am happy because you are diligently doing your homework. I\'m so proud of you!   I know that the homework is too difficult for you to explain and answer but you are trying to understand it. My advice: Wake up with determination and go to bed with satisfaction. Study hard. Do good and good life will follow. Aja! aja! To explain the answer to the homework: ESSAY: Discuss the meaning of the verb form and answer the questions about the pair of sentences.a. When I got there, Marie had eaten.b. When I got there, Joe ate.QUESTION: Who was still hungry when I got there? The first sentence is in the past perfect.The past perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.When we want to talk about an action that happened before a past event, we often use the past perfect.We use the past perfect tense fairly often in English.A completed action before something else in the past.To explain or give a reason for something in the past.Something that started in the past and continued up to another action in the past.In the sentence, Marie just finished eating before I got there. The second sentence is in the past.The simple past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past.The simple past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past.In the second sentence, Joe ate a couple of hours ago so Joe might be hungry before I got there. Who was still hungry when I got there?Joe is hungry when I got there. Teacher Sophia
