Verb tenses are used to tell us when something happened. The past perfect tense is used to talk about something that happened before another event in the past, like "I had eaten my lunch before I went to play." The present perfect tense is used to describe something that started in the past and is still happening now or has an effect now, like "I have finished my homework." The future perfect tense tells us about something that will be completed before a particular time in the future, like "By tomorrow, I will have finished reading my book." These tenses help us understand the order and timing of events!
