Janet's father asked if __________________.
Please advised under what circumstances do we need to add "had" to the answer. Give an example of a sentence to show.
Answers:
this is called a past perfect.
"The Past Perfect 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."
for instance, with your 2 sentences, the first one u wouldn't have to use the word "had" since it doesn't refer to any past action or a specific time in the past. so the answer would be, Father asked Timmy where he hid the report book.
for the second one, u would use the word "had" because it refers to a specfic time in the past which is "yesterday."
ex. I had finished the novel before she called me.
finishing the novel happened in the past, before a specific event, "before she called me"
hope this helps. n my source is a great one too.
