Present Perfect = Has/Have + Past participle
Past Perfect = Had + past participle
In Present Perfect, you use Has/Have depending on the subject right?
John HAS played basketball since he was an adolescent. (Johnny = singular, HAS = singular)
Johnny and Paul HAVE played basketball since they were adolescents. (Johnny and Paul = plural, HAVE = plural)
In Past Prefect, you use HAD + past particle. So you use HAD regardless if the subject is plural or singular?
The movie HAD ENDED but we remained in our seats. ( Movie = singular, HAD = singular)
The movies HAD Ended but we remained in our seats ( Movies = plural, had = plural?)
Is this correct?
