Voici les livres que j'avais écrits il y a longtemps.Remember that the past participle must agree in number and gender with a preceding direct‐object noun or pronoun: (She had prepared herself before giving her presentation.) Elle s'était préparée avant de donner sa présentation.(He walked with difficulty because he had fallen.) Il marchait avec peine parce qu'il était tombé.(I had a stomachache because I had eaten too much.) J'avais mal à l'estomac parce que j'avais trop mangé.Its English equivalent is “had” + past participle: The plus‐que‐parfait is the compound form of the imperfect and is formed by using the imperfect of the appropriate helping verb ( avoir or être) + the past participle of the verb. The plus‐que‐parfait (the pluperfect) indicates that an action had taken place and had been completed before another past action took place.
