Объяснение:

Время Past Perfect образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to have в прошедшем времени и причастия прошедшего времени значимого глагола, то есть его «третьей формы».

To have в прошедшем времени имеет единственную форму had.

Причастие второе, или причастие прошедшего времени (Participle II), можно получить, прибавив к начальной форме значимого глагола окончание -ed.
