Used to describe a past action that preceded another past action (for example, I had spoken, we had eaten).
Compound tense formed with the imperfect of essere or avere plus the past participle of the verb. The past participle agrees with the subject when the verb is conjugated with essere.
Often use words such as
già (already)
dopo che (after)
prima (before)
appena (as soon as, just)
ancora (yet)
and quando (when)
to indicate that one action preceded another.
già, mai, appena, and ancora are placed between the auxiliary verb and the past participle. |
