英语时态是一个很重要的知识点，今天我们就来学习英语时态的其中一种-过去完成时吧！
英语过去完成时的用法
过去完成时表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束，即“过去的过去”;也可以指过去的动作延续到过去的某个时刻。这里的过去时间可以用某个时间状语表示，也可以通过上下文表示。
1. 表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束，也有可能早已结束或完成。例如:
When he was in Beijing, he visited places where he had played as a child. 他在北京的时候游览了他儿时曾玩过的地方。
2. 表示一个过去的动作先于另一过去的动作的用法，这种情况多见于宾语从句。例如:
He remembered that he had left the key at home. 他记得他把钥匙落家了。
3. 表示一个动作或状态在过去某时之前已经开始，一直延续到这一过去时间，而且到那时还未结束，仍有继续下去的可能性。例如:
By seven o’clock the worker had worked for ten hours. 到七点钟为止，那位工人已经工作十个小时了。
4. 表示意向的动词，如hope, wish, expect, think, intend, mean, suppose等，用过去完成时表示“原本……，未能……”。例如:
We had hoped that you would come, but you didn’t.我们本希望你能来，但是你没来。
5. 过去完成时与一般过去时的区别:
(1) 过去完成时与一般过去时都可以和确定的过去时间状语连用，但意思有明显区别。试比较:
He had finished his homework by eight. 他到八点钟的时候已经完成家庭作业了。
He finished his homework at eight. 他在八点钟完成了家庭作业。
(2) 用在宾语从句中，主句谓语为一般过去时的宾语从句中，既可用一般过去时，也可用过去完成时。但两种时态的意义明显不同。试比较:
He said he was a soldier. 他说他是位军人。
He said he had been a soldier. 他说他曾当过兵。
(3) 在含有before的主从复合句中，一般情况下，在从句中使用一般过去时，主句中使用过去完成时。例如:
Jack had finished his homework before he went out shopping. 杰克在购物前已经完成了他的家庭作业。
注:before本身就能明确地表示时间的先后关系，故多数主从句均使用一般过去时，而无需使用过去完成时。例如:
Some people left for home before the film ended. 电影尚未放完，有些人就起身回家了。

过去式和过去完成时的区别
1、过去完成时表示的是过去的过去所发生的事情，可能一直持续到过去/现在或者其影响持续到现在。按此理解，这里的意思是“在她打的之前(这里是过去)”就一直在下雨，而且一直持续到她打的之后。
2、用一般过去时，强调的是一个事件/动作，而不是强调某一事件/动作的持续性。按此理解，“在她打的之前开始下雨”，仅仅只是表达了这么一个事实而已;或者你可以理解为“她刚要打的就开始下雨了“这么一个瞬间发生的事情，所以不能用完成时态。 综上所述，以上填had begun和began肯定都是对的咯!
