past vs past perfect

[Sonav]

Hi,

I want to know which of the following sentence is grammatically correct and is there any alternative for this sentence.

I had entered the time for Sunday as I was on Support on that day.

Or

I entered the time for Sunday as I was on support on that day.

[Beeesneees]

Both might be correct. It depends on the wider context.

Can We say, "She had gone swiftly and angrily." as a past perfect sentence
without adding another past reference?

[Alan]

Hi,

As has been said several times already on this topic, using the past perfect means using a past simple in an adjoining/related sentence to indicate that there is an earlier time shown in that past perfect or if there isn't another tense, there should be an indication of it in the context.

Mr. Alan,
Please don't be angry with me for not understanding your guidance.
You told somewhere, if I remember correctly, that a past perfect sentence can end with adverb
without second past tense reference.
That is why, I coined this sentence ending with adverb.
Is it not OK?
Please bear with me and guide me.
Thanks.

Hi Hanifasmm,
what could be an adverb of time that points into the simple past in 'She had gone swiftly and angrily."?

"swiftly and angrily" is an adverb of manner.

Must be an adverb of time plus preposition "before" in the sentence.

She had gone swiftly and angrily before 8PM.
She was gone swiftly and angrily at/after 8PM.
She went away (left) swiftly and angrily at/after 8PM.

[Hanifasmm]

Mr. Alan,
Can "She had gone swiftly and angrily before 8PM." be OK fulfilling
all the required past-participle grammar requirements?
Thanks.

[Hanifasmm]

Mr. Alan,
Could you help, please

[Alan]

Hi,

Yes, that works.

1. "Until Friday, Sita had not completed the report."
2. "As of Friday, Sita had not completed the report."
3. "He had turned forty several years ago."
4. "I had met him somewhere before."

The above sentences #1 & #2 satisfy the condition of past perfect.
So they are OK.
The sentences #3 & #4 are wrong and they should be written as below:
5. He turned forty several years ago.
6. I met him somewhere before.
Could you please tell me about my observations right or wrong?
Please correct me where I am wrong.
Thanks.

I wonder if it is possible to say

I've met him somewhere before.

[Jimic]

I have met him somewhere before.

it works !
