आम गलती जो SAAVI सुधारेगी
I had eat before he came.
I had eaten before he came.
SAAVI: Past Perfect = had + V3 (past participle)। "had eat" गलत, "had eaten" सही। V3 form याद रखो।
Visual / Animation Idea
Two timeline arrows: first action finishes (had + V3, faded), then second action starts (simple past, bright). "Before/After" connects them.
