The past perfect tense is created with the auxiliary verb had and a past participle.

Examples:

The past perfect tense of walk is had walked. (Walk is a regular verb, so the past tense and past participle are the same.)

The past perfect tense of break is had broken. (Break is an irregular verb. The past tense is broke, and the past participle is broken.)
