Word order for a basic sentence is subject + verb + object.
For a past sentence the verb or verb phrase must be in a past form:
past simple - I walked to school -( regular verb walk). I ate the cake - (irregular verb eat)
past continuous - I was walking to school. They were eating the cake. (plural subject)
past perfect - I had walked to school. They had eaten the cake.
past perfect continuous - I had been walking to school. We had been eating the cake.
The continuous and perfect tenses have a verb phrase. The be verbs ( was were) and the auxiliary verb (had) show the sentence is past. The main verbs (eat, walk) are in the present participle form ( -ing ) or past participle form.
