Anna

Today, Pete and I are meeting with a consultant who will help us with our new show. Yesterday, Pete had promised to meet me here at 8:00 am. but he did not come on time.

今天皮特和我要见一位顾问，帮我们做新节目。昨天皮特答应早上 8 点在这儿见我，可他没准时来。

Uh-oh. It’s bad to be late for a business meeting. But while we wait for Pete, let’s talk about a new verb tense -- past perfect! When we talk about two things in the past, we can use the past perfect for the first event. Put "had" before the past participle. "Pete had promised he would meet Anna." Find sentences with the past perfect tense. Remember, look for "had!"

哦哦。商务会议迟到可不好。等皮特的时候，我们来学一个新时态——过去完成时！谈两件过去的事时，先发生的那件用过去完成时。在过去分词前加 had。“Pete had promised he would meet Anna.”请找出过去完成时的句子。记住，找 had！
