Le pluperfect se forme comme le present perfect avec l'auxiliaire HAVE et le participe passé du verbe, mais l'auxiliaire est au passé (HAD). Pour symboliser le pluperfect on utilise parfois "HAD - EN".
Il existe un pluperfect en BE+ING: HAD BEEN V-ING. Il correspond alors au present perfect en BE+ING dans un contexte passé.
