Past Perfect: telling a travel story in order

1 · Notice
  • By the time we reached the square, the guide had already started the tour.
  • We were surprised because we hadn't visited a capital city before.
  • Had you seen the famous landmark before your trip? — No, I hadn't.
  • When we arrived at the museum, it had just closed.

Which action happened first, and which happened second? How do we form the Past Perfect?

2 · Discover

A Complete the rule

Look at the Notice sentences again. Complete the rule with the words in the box.

had + V3hadn'tbeforeHad

B Build sentences

Use the cues to write sentences about a world tour. Look at the example first.

  1. by the time / we / arrive the guide / already / start the tour

    ✓ By the time we arrived, the guide had already started the tour.

  2. we not / visit a capital city before
    Model answer

    We hadn't visited a capital city before.

  3. when / she / get to the landmark it / just / close
    Model answer

    When she got to the landmark, it had just closed.

  4. ? / you / see the pyramids before your trip
    Model answer

    Had you seen the pyramids before your trip?

  5. they / already / book the hotel before they landed
    Model answer

    They had already booked the hotel before they landed.

  6. I / not / try the local cuisine before I moved there
    Model answer

    I hadn't tried the local cuisine before I moved there.

C Your turn

Write three sentences about a trip (real or imaginary): one thing that had already happened before you arrived somewhere, one you hadn't done before, and one question with Had you...?

By the time I arrived, …I hadn't …Had you …?
Rule

We use the Past Perfect (had + V3) for an action that happened before another action in the past — it makes clear which past event came first. Negative: hadn't + V3. Question: Had + subject + V3?

TRPast Perfect (had + V3), geçmişte başka bir geçmiş olaydan önce olan bir eylemi anlatmak için kullanılır: iki geçmiş olay arasında hangisinin önce olduğunu netleştirir. Olumsuzda hadn't + V3, soruda Had + özne + V3 kullanılır.

When?

We use it when telling a travel story and we need to show which of two past events happened first — for example, what had already happened before we arrived.

TRBir seyahat hikâyesini anlatırken, iki geçmiş olayı sırasıyla belirtmek istediğimizde kullanırız: örneğin, biz varmadan önce ne olmuştu.

3 · Form

Positive

  • By the time we arrived, the tour had already started.
  • She had visited three capitals before she turned twenty.

Negative

  • We hadn't seen the landmark before that day.
  • He hadn't tried the local food before his trip.

Question

  • Had you seen the Eiffel Tower before?
  • Had they booked the hotel before they landed?

Short answers

  • Yes, I had. / No, I hadn't.
  • Yes, they had. / No, they hadn't.
Mistakes
  • By the time we arrived, the guide has already started.By the time we arrived, the guide had already started.

    Use had, not has, when sequencing two past events.

    TRİki geçmiş olayı sıralarken has değil had kullanılır.

  • I hadn't visit the capital before.I hadn't visited the capital before.

    Use the past participle (V3) after hadn't, not the base verb.

    TRhadn't'tan sonra V3 (past participle) gelir, yalın fiil değil.

Reported speech (mixed tenses): reporting what people said about their travels

1 · Notice
  • Deniz said, "I visited three capitals last year." → Deniz said (that) she had visited three capitals the year before.
  • Elif said, "I'm going to the pyramids next month." → Elif said (that) she was going to the pyramids the following month.
  • Mert said, "The landmark is amazing." → Mert said (that) the landmark was amazing.
  • The guide said, "I have worked here for ten years." → The guide said (that) he had worked there for ten years.

How does the verb tense change when we report what someone said? What happens to words like 'next month' or 'here'?

2 · Discover

A Complete the rule

Look at the Notice sentences again. Complete the rule with the words in the box.

B Build sentences

Report what each person said. Look at the example first.

  1. Aylin "I love this city."

    ✓ Aylin said (that) she loved that city.

  2. the tour guide "This monument is 500 years old."
    Model answer

    The tour guide said (that) that monument was 500 years old.

  3. Can "I visited the capital last summer."
    Model answer

    Can said (that) he had visited the capital the previous summer.

  4. Zeynep "I'm going to travel to five countries next year."
    Model answer

    Zeynep said (that) she was going to travel to five countries the following year.

  5. the local "We don't shake hands here."
    Model answer

    The local said (that) they didn't shake hands there.

  6. Emre "I have never seen such a breathtaking view."
    Model answer

    Emre said (that) he had never seen such a breathtaking view.

C Your turn

Think of something a friend or family member once said about a trip or a place. Write three reported-speech sentences about it, changing the tense correctly.

… said (that) …… told me (that) …
Rule

In reported speech, the verb usually moves one tense back: Present Simple → Past Simple, Past Simple → Past Perfect, be going to → was/were going to, Present Perfect → Past Perfect. Time and place words also change: now → then, here → there, tomorrow → the next day.

TRReported speech'te (dolaylı anlatım), söylenen cümleyi kendi cümlemizmiş gibi aktarırken fiil genellikle bir zaman geriye kayar: Present Simple → Past Simple, Past Simple → Past Perfect, be going to → was/were going to, Present Perfect → Past Perfect. Zaman/yer zarfları da değişir: now→then, here→there, tomorrow→the next day.

When?

We use it when telling someone else what a person said about their travels, cultures or places, and it requires mixing different past tenses correctly.

TRBirinin seyahatler, kültürler veya yerler hakkında söylediklerini başka birine aktarırken kullanılır; farklı geçmiş zamanların doğru sırayla kullanılmasını gerektirir.

3 · Form

Positive

  • She said (that) she had visited the capital.
  • He said (that) he was going to travel next year.

Negative

  • They said (that) they hadn't tried the local food.
  • She said (that) she didn't like the crowded landmark.

Question

  • I asked her if/whether she had enjoyed the trip.

Short answers

  • She said she had. / He said he hadn't.
Mistakes
  • She said that she visits the capital every year.She said that she visited the capital every year.

    Present Simple usually shifts back to Past Simple.

    TRPresent Simple genellikle Past Simple'a kayar.

  • He said he is going to travel next year.He said he was going to travel the following year.

    be going to shifts back to was/were going to; next year becomes the following year.

    TRbe going to → was/were going to şeklinde kayar; next year → the following year olur.

Compare

Past modals: could / should / would / might have V3

1 · Notice
  • We missed the flight — we should have checked the time more carefully.
  • The tourist was lost; he could have asked someone for directions.
  • It's a shame you weren't there — you would have loved the ancient ruins.
  • She didn't answer her phone. She might have been visiting the museum.

Do these sentences talk about the present or the past? What do they say about things that did or didn't happen?

B Build sentences

Use the cues to write sentences with past modals. Look at the example first.

  1. we / miss the flight should / check the time

    ✓ We should have checked the time.

  2. he / get lost could / ask for directions
    Model answer

    He could have asked for directions.

  3. you / not go you / love the landmark
    Model answer

    You would have loved the landmark.

  4. she / not answer might / be busy at the museum
    Model answer

    She might have been busy at the museum.

  5. they / arrive late should / leave earlier
    Model answer

    They should have left earlier.

  6. I / not know the custom might / offend someone
    Model answer

    I might have offended someone.

C Your turn

Think of a travel mistake (real or imaginary). Write three sentences: one with should have (what you should have done), one with could have (another option), and one with might have (a guess about what happened).

I should have …I could have …Maybe I might have …
Rule

Modal + have + V3 is used for things in the past that didn't happen, or that we are not sure about. Should have: something that didn't happen but should have (regret/criticism). Could have: a past possibility that didn't happen. Might/may have: an unsure guess about the past. Would have: imagining what would have happened in a different past situation.

TRModal + have + V3 yapısı, geçmişte gerçekleşmemiş ya da gerçekleşip gerçekleşmediğinden emin olmadığımız durumlar için kullanılır. Should have: geçmişte yapılmayan ama yapılması gereken bir şey (pişmanlık/eleştiri). Could have: geçmişte mümkün olan ama olmayan bir seçenek. Might/may have: geçmiş hakkında emin olmayan bir tahmin. Would have: farklı bir geçmiş durumda ne olacağını hayal etme.

When?

We use these to criticise a travel mistake, talk about a missed opportunity, or guess about something that might have happened in the past.

TRBir seyahat hatasını eleştirirken, kaçırılan bir fırsatı anlatırken ya da geçmişte olabilecek bir şeyi tahmin ederken kullanırız.

3 · Form

Positive

  • We should have booked earlier.
  • She might have taken the wrong train.

Negative

  • You shouldn't have missed the tour.
  • He couldn't have known about the custom.

Question

  • Could they have arrived earlier?

Short answers

  • Yes, they could have. / No, they couldn't have.
Mistakes
  • We should have go earlier.We should have gone earlier.

    Use the past participle (V3) after have, not the base verb.

    TRhave'den sonra V3 (past participle) gelir, yalın fiil değil.

  • She might visited the museum yesterday.She might have visited the museum yesterday.

    Use might + have + V3 for a guess about the past.

    TRGeçmiş hakkında tahmin için might + have + V3 kullanılır.

Compare

Should have (pişmanlık: yapmalıydım ama yapmadım) ile could have (mümkündü ama olmadı) karıştırılmamalı: 'I should have visited the museum' = ziyaret etmeliydim (pişmanım). 'I could have visited the museum' = ziyaret edebilirdim (fırsat vardı, kullanmadım).

C Your turn

Write three sentences about your own future travel plans (real or your ideal world tour) using be going to.

Rule

We use be going to for future plans and intentions that were already decided before the moment of speaking. Form: am/is/are + going to + base verb. Negative: am not/isn't/aren't going to. Question: Am/Is/Are + subject + going to?

TRBe going to, önceden karar verilmiş gelecekteki planları ve niyetleri anlatmak için kullanılır. Am/is/are + going to + yalın fiil şeklinde kurulur. Olumsuzda am not/isn't/aren't going to, soruda Am/Is/Are + özne + going to kullanılır.

  • Look at the title. Which capital cities do you already know? Name three.
  • Guess: is the biggest city in a country always its capital?

Capitals That Might Surprise You

When people think of a capital city, they often imagine the biggest, busiest city in the country. But that isn't always true. In some countries, the capital is a smaller, quieter administrative city, built specially to be the seat of government.

Brazil is a good example. Rio de Janeiro used to be the capital, but in 1960 the government had already decided to relocate the capital to a new city called Brasília. City planners had designed Brasília from nothing, in the shape of an aeroplane, in the middle of the country. Today, government buildings, embassies and diplomats fill the city, while Rio remains the more famous tourist destination.

Another surprising example is Switzerland. Many people guess that Zürich, the biggest and richest city, is the capital. In fact, Bern, a much smaller city with a lower population, holds that role. Bern's old town, with its narrow streets and medieval towers, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Turkey has a similar story. Istanbul is the largest city and the main cultural and economic centre, but Ankara has been the official capital since 1923, when the young republic had chosen it as a more central administrative city.

So, before you travel, it's worth checking: is the capital the city everyone talks about, or is it a quieter place with a very different kind of importance?

  • Guess: was this landmark originally built for the reason people visit it today?

The Landmark and the Story Behind It

Millions of tourists visit the Eiffel Tower every year, but most don't know it was almost destroyed. In 1889, the tower had been built as a temporary entrance for the World's Fair in Paris. Many people at the time thought it was ugly, and the plan was to take it down after twenty years.

By the time the twenty years had passed, engineers had already found a new use for the tower: radio transmission. Because it was so tall, it was perfect for sending radio signals across the city. This breathtaking piece of engineering had earned itself a permanent place in Paris.

Today, the tower attracts around seven million visitors a year, making it one of the most-visited paid landmarks in the world. Tourists climb it, take photographs from below, and watch it sparkle with lights every evening.

This story shows something interesting about landmarks: sometimes they aren't built to become symbols. Their history, use, and the culture around them can change how people see a place over time.

So next time you take a photo next to a famous monument, it might be worth asking: what was this place originally built for, and how did it become so important?

AdaSo for our project, we're going to design our ideal world tour. Where should we start?

KeremI've always wanted to visit Tokyo. I read that it had already become one of the biggest cities in the world by the 1960s.

AdaGreat choice. After Tokyo, we could visit Cairo — I'd love to see the pyramids. They're ancient, and the construction is amazing for that time.

KeremGood idea. And we should have added Rome from the start — I can't believe we almost forgot it!

AdaYou're right, we should have. Let's add it as our third city. Rome has so many landmarks — the Colosseum, for example.

KeremPerfect. And for the cultural differences part, we could compare greetings — my cousin told me that in Japan people bow instead of shaking hands.

AdaThat's a really good example. We're going to write about three capitals, their landmarks, and their customs. This is going to be a fantastic project!

KeremDefinitely. Let's start writing the script for our characters tonight.

ZeynepYou'll never guess what happened when I visited my friend's family in South Korea!

BurakWhat happened?

ZeynepWell, I hadn't researched the etiquette before I went, so I poured my own drink at dinner. My friend told me later that in Korea, you usually let someone else pour your drink for you.

BurakOh no! You should have asked her about the customs first.

ZeynepI know, I should have! I might have offended her grandmother, but luckily she just laughed and explained the tradition.

BurakThat's a relief. Did anything else surprise you?

ZeynepYes — I found out that people often remove their shoes before entering a house there, which is different from here.

BurakInteresting. I think our project should have a section just about these small cultural differences — they're fascinating.

ZeynepAgreed. I'm going to write about this experience for the writing task.
