28. Past Perfect in Action: Talking About What Went Wrong (and How to Fix It)

Explaining what went wrong in a professional setting doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. With the past perfect tense, you can clarify timelines, build trust, and focus on solutions—all while sounding professional and constructive. In this episode, we’ll explore how to use the past perfect in real-world scenarios like project reviews, problem-solving, and follow-ups after mistakes. Learn how phrases like “We had completed the first phase on schedule” or “The issue had been flagged during the initial review” can transform difficult conversations into opportunities for growth.
