(Note the above are all questions)

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.
