过去完成时表示“过去的过去”发生的动作或存在的状态，因此其对比点是过去的动作或状态（大部分情况下以一般过去时did/was/were结构做比较）。为了同学们掌握方便，现就将其常见句型总结如下：
1．“By the end of +名词（短语），主语 + had done…”
例如：By the end of the day, most of the inhabitants had left their homes.（到这一天，大部分居民已离开他们的家园。）
2．“主句（had done）, before + 过去时间状语 ”
例如：They had never seen so many of the locusts before.（他们以前从未见过如此多的蝗虫）
I had reached the station before six o'clock.
（六点之前我已到达车站。）
3. “用在told, said, knew, heard, thought等动词后的宾语从句，表示动作发生在这些动词之前。”
例如：She said that she had never been to Paris.（她说她从未去过巴黎。）
4．“By the time + 从句（did/was/were）, 主语 + had done…”
例如：By the time we arrived, everyone had received medical care.（我们到达时，每个人已接受了医疗护理。）
5．“主语 +had done…, before 从句（did/was/were）”
例如：Fortunately, the population had left the village before the volcano erupted.（幸运的是，火山喷发前人们已离开了村庄。）
6．“主语 +had done…, when 从句（did/was/were）”
例如：They had already put the fire out when I returned to the village.（当我返回村子时，人们已将大火扑灭。）
7．“主语 + (did/was/were), after 从句（had done）”
例如：The earthquake happened in the daytime after people had already left home for work or school.（地震发生在白天，当时人们已离开家去上班或上学。）
8．“用在 Hardly(scarcely, barely)…when…, No sooner…than…句型中”
例如：Hardly had I got home when the rain poured down. （我刚到家大雨就倾盆而下。）

10．“用在It was/had been + 一段时间 + since 从句 （had done）中”
例如：It was ten years since we had had such a wonderful time.（十年我们都没这麽高兴了。）
11．“hope, plan, mean, expect, intend, suppose, want, think 等动词有时用过去完成时表示一个本来打算做而未做，曾经设想而未实现的事。”
例如：They had wanted to help but could not get here in time. (他们本想来帮忙，但未及时赶到。)
