[modifier ( modifier-249-section-1.cours)]Quand l'utiliser

Le past perfect (ou plus que parfait, en français) s'utilise dans une phrase au passé où l'on fait référence à une deuxième action encore plus loin dans le passé.

Le past perfect progressive s'utilise dans le même cas mais on indique la durée.
