Okay, so one of the errors I see quite often from students when they're producing written work is the addition of 'had' where you don't actually need it, e.g.
He had left the cinema.
instead of
He left the cinema.
So this is the start of my investigation into why this is such a frequent error among students! There will be MERITS awarded to the first three Middle School Students who email me with a correct explanation of why "He left the cinema" is different from "He had left the cinema". If you can, you should also try to send me your explanation of why students at our school sometimes get the two confused.
Good luck! :)
