أولًا: يعني إيه الماضي التام؟
 الماضي التام بنستخدمه لما يكون عندنا: حدثين حصلوا في الماضي واحد حصل الأول
  الماضي التام بيكون للحدث الأقدم (اللي حصل الأول). finish → finished
 had rung = الماضي التام (اللي حصل الأول)
 arrived = ماضي بسيط (اللي حصل بعده)
 الأكل حصل الأول → Past Perfect
 المجيء حصل بعده → Past Simple
 اللي قبل before → ماضي تام غالبًا
 She had finished her homework before she slept. اللي بعد after → ماضي تام
 She slept after she had finished her homework. I hadn’t finished the lesson. Had + subject + V3 ؟
 Had you finished your work?
  وعايز توضح مين حصل الأول
 → استخدم ماضي بسيط وخلاص
 I finished my homework. I had finished my homework before I watched TV. ️ I had done my homework before the teacher came.  حيلة سريعة تحفظيه بيها
 كلمات وتعبيرات تدل على الماضي التام
 He had just finished his work before the manager came.  ever = سبق أن (في السؤال غالبًا)
 Had you ever visited Cairo before?
  till / until = حتى
 He had waited until she arrived.  when = عندما (لو في حدثين ماضي)
  my mother had cooked dinner.  before that / earlier = قبل ذلك
 She had finished earlier. مش لازم الكلمة الدالة تكون موجودة
 أحيانًا ترتيب الأحداث نفسه هو اللي يفرض الماضي التام:
 I went to the cinema after I had finished my homework.  أولًا: It was only when = ما حصلش غير لما
 حدث حصل الأول → نحطه ماضي تام
 والتاني حصل بعده → ماضي بسيط
 It was only when + ماضي بسيط + that + had + V3
 It was only when I reached school that I had forgotten my book.  الوصول = حصل بعدين → ماضي بسيط
  النسيان = حصل قبل → ماضي تام
  ثانيًا: It wasn’t until = لم يحدث إلا عندما
 It wasn’t until + ماضي بسيط + that + had + V3
 It wasn’t until I opened the bag that I had lost my keys. لما تشوفي: only when
