Question

Is the following statement true or false?
The past perfect tense indicates that an action was completed at some point in the past before something else happened.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Option A is correct. Consider the following example:

I had run three other marathons before entering the Mumbai Marathon.

The past perfect is used to talk about something that happened before something else. "Had run" is the past perfect of the infinitive "to run". It tells us that the speaker had already run "three other marathons" before running in the Mumbai Marathon.
