Explanation
Explanation:
In English grammar, when we talk about two actions that happened in the past, we use the Past Perfect Tense for the action that happened first and the Simple Past Tense for the action that happened second.
In this sentence, two things happened:
-
Peter forgot/left his wallet at home (First action).
-
Anne had to pay (Second action).
Since Peter leaving his wallet happened before Anne paid, we use the Past Perfect form:
Subject+had+Past Participle (V3)
