Bonjour,
1) When the firemen arrived in the wood, it was already too late. The Changeling had changed life with Henry
2) Henry's mother explained she hadn't seen her son for more than 12 hours
3) There were only crumbs in his pocket: Henry had eaten the biscuit.
4) Henry was surprised. He had never seen a changeling before.
5) She was so happy: her son had come back !
Explications :
Prétérit pour une action passée, datée, terminée
Had + participe passé ( = Past perfect ) pour une action antérieure. On dit que le Past perfect est du passé dans le passé.
ex : There were only crumbs in his pocket: Henry had eaten the biscuit.
( Il n'y avait que des miettes dans sa poche: Henry avait mangé le biscuit )
==> Les deux actions sont passées mais il a mangé le biscuit avant ( donc
past perfect ) , puis il restait des miettes ( prétérit )
; )
