Formation du pluperfect

Le pluperfect se forme comme le plus-que-parfait en français. C'est la seule comparaison que l'on peut faire entre ces deux temps. Le pluperfect ne s'utilise pas du tout comme ce temps en français.

had + participe passé

I had started
Had you finished

En français, le plus-que-parfait alterne les deux auxiliaires (avoir et être). Rien de tout cela en anglais. On utilise toujours "to have" pour former le pluperfect.
