Explicação:

Na questão de número 1. transformamos todas as sentenças com o PAST PERFECT dos verbos.  o PAST PERFECT é utilizado nas frases para representar um tempo com ações passadas e é comumente encontrado em suas frases alguns advérbios como: before, after, when...

A estrutura desse tipo de frase é formada pelo verbo auxiliar TO HAVE conjugado na forma SIMPLE PAST = HAD + o verbo principal conjugado na forma PAST PARTICIPLE.  

Na forma interrogativa, o verbo auxiliar HAD vai para o início da frase + o verbo principal conjugado na forma PAST PARTICIPLE.  

Na forma negativa, o verbo auxiliar HAD é acrescido da partícula NOT  + o verbo principal conjugado na forma PAST PARTICIPLE.  

Ex: They had gone married when they lived in Peru.

     Had they gone married when they lived in Peru? (interrogative)

     They had not married when they lived in Peru? (negative)

Obs: os verbos regulares na forma particípio são compostos pelas terminações: d, –ed ou –ied.  Os irregulares não possuem uma conjugação específica podendo sofrer variações.

Na questão de número 2. utilizamos os verbos no modo PAST SIMPLE,  esse modo é utilizado para expressar frases com ações já concluídas.  

A estrutura desse tipo de frase é formada pelo junção do verbo principal no infinitivo sem o uso da partícula TO. (to have, to dance, to eat ) Acrescido das terminações: d, –ed ou –ied.

Ex: The teacher corrected the exercises that I prepared.
