What is the Past Perfect Tense in German?
The German past perfect tense (Plusquamperfekt) describes an action or event that happened before another past event. It is mainly used in written language. You can learn more about this tense: here.
When to use “waren” or “hatten” for the Plusquamperfekt?
“Waren” is used when the verb in the German present perfect tense requires a form of “sein” (to be). This happens with verbs indicating locomotion (e.g., to swim, to run) or a change of state (e.g., to wake up, to get up). Additionally, verbs like “passieren” and “geschehen” (to happen) also use “sein.” All other verbs take a form of “haben.” For more detailed information on this topic and the German perfect tense click here.
