Past Perfect Practice

Hi, people!! So, last class we discussed the past perfect simple. This is your homework, to practice a bit. 

You are going to watch a movie segment (a part of a movie) and do the activities below. The movie is called The Other Man. This is an intriguing scene because it is about a man who finds out his wife has a lover because he decided to investigate her private messages, such as the ones in her cell phone and laptop. 

A. Watch the segment and check which activity took place first. Write 1 next to the activity that took place first and 2 next to the activity that took place later.

I . 
(       ) He listened to her voice mail.     
(        ) He turned on his wife's laptop.

II. 
(        ) He looked at some pictures of his family.      
(         ) He tried to open a folder called "Love".

III. 
(          ) He tried opening the love folder using some passwords with his family names.       
(          ) He opened a folder called "London".

IV. 
(          ) He saw the picture of a black man trying to kiss his wife at a party.       
(          ) He read an email from Ralph.

V. 
(         ) He remembered being introduced to Ralph.     
(         ) He finished reading the email.



B. Now combine both sentences using the simple past and the past perfect tenses. Make sure you know what action took place first so you can choose the correct verb tense.

Example: 

I) He had listened to his wife's voice mail when he turned on her laptop
