Past Perfect/Pluperfect Comparison Exercises For Russian Grammar

Practicing grammar exercises for proficiency in different languagesĀ 

The Past Perfect or the Pluperfect tense in Russian grammar is used to describe actions that were completed before a specific point in the past. Unlike other tenses in Russian, the formation of the Past Perfect tense does not involve the consistent use of specific verb endings. Instead, the tense is formed by using the past tense of the auxiliary verb “Š±Ń‹Ń‚ŃŒ” (to be) with the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the focus is on the comparison of actions in the past. By practicing these exercises, you will gain a deeper understanding of how to form and use the Past Perfect/Pluperfect tense in Russian and be able to compare past actions with more ease.
