2. Usage in Conditional Sentences: The past perfect subjunctive is often found in unreal conditional sentences such as 'If I had known, I wouldn't have come.'

3. Usage in Temporal and Consecutive Sentences: This verb tense can express actions that precede another past action in temporal and consecutive subordinate clauses, such as 'Before he arrived, I had already left.'

4. Usage for Wishes and Hypotheses: Discuss how the past perfect subjunctive expresses past wishes or hypotheses, like 'I wish I had had more time to study.'

1. Question 1: Change the sentence 'If you (had/study) more, you would have passed the exam' to reflect the past perfect subjunctive.

Answer: 'If you had studied more, you would have passed the exam.' Here, 'had studied' represents the past perfect subjunctive, signalling an unfulfilled condition in the past. 2. Question 2: Finish the sentence 'I wish (we/had/finished) the project before the deadline' using the past perfect subjunctive.

Answer: 'I wish we had finished the project before the deadline.' In this case, 'had finished' signifies a wish that wasn't realised in the past. 3. Question 3: Clarify the differences between 'If I had known, I wouldn't have come' and 'If I knew, I wouldn't come'.

Answer: 'If I had known, I wouldn't have come' employs the past perfect subjunctive to express an unmet condition from the past, resulting in an action that didn't occur. Conversely, 'If I knew, I wouldn't come' uses the imperfect subjunctive to convey an unreal condition in the present or future.
