Subject: past perfect
Hello..
I have two questions regarding the past perfect.
1. If I ask a Yes/No question in the past perfect, does the answer
have to be past perfect too?
Example: Had you ever worked for money before you got your job as a
waitress last summer?
Answer: Of course. I ____________ (do) baby sitting jobs and I
_____________ (worked) as a counselor's helper in a summer camp. (Can
the answers be "did" and "worked"?)
2. Can we use the past perfect simple in the following sentence:
I ______had worked_________ (work) at summer jobs for years before I
got a restaurant job.
Thank you in advance for your help.
