Meanwhile, the pluperfect subjunctive continued in its same usage with the morphology cantasses.
Two other compound forms are the pluperfect and the future perfect.
This is certainly possible, since for some speakers, background and foreground events are expressed consistently with imperfective and pluperfect forms as examples (45)-(50) show.
They also found pluperfect forms associated with foreground events.
In some of the cases cited from the affidavits (b and c above, for example), the use of the pluperfect is not necessarily nonstandard.
As pointed out by an anonymous reviewer, in this case the pluperfect has a perfective inter pretation.
These forms are the simple past tense (canté), the past subjunctive (cantara), and the pluperfect (había cantado).
Each narrative was coded for use of a past-tense form in past-time contexts, which included simple past, past progressive, and, more rarely, pluperfect.
