Question

The following sentence is in what tense?

Laura had given donations to the local food bank.

1) Past
2)Past Perfect
3)Present perfect
4)Present

Answer 1

The verb here is "had given"; this is past perfect: it's a perfect tense, because it has a past participle with the -ed ending ("given") and it's the past perfect because the auxiliary verb is the past form of "have": had.
