Had met β
πΆThe past perfect tense expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.
πConsider these two sentences, for example:
β’ When she arrived at the airport, she realized she dropped her passport.
β’ When she arrived at the airport, she realized she had dropped her passport.

Correct Answer πHad met β
πΆThe past perfect tense expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.
πConsider these two sentences, for example:
β’ When she arrived at the airport, she realized she dropped her passport.
β’ When she arrived at the airport, she realized she had dropped her passport.
π
NB: She arrived at the airport in a moment in the past, but the moment she dropped her passport happened before this past moment. Because the first sentence only uses the past simple tense, it sounds as if both moments happened at the same time in the past, and the sentence becomes confusing. By using the past perfect tense in the second sentence, we are able to distinguish that one event happened earlier than the other.#Test_Of_The_Day
