A Hundred and One Rules in Arabic Grammar!
- If the Perfect Particle قد ===============================
If the Perfect Particle قد is used with a verb in the past tense, then both are translated as a Present Perfect (has/have + Participle).
She has worked in this factory.** قد عَمِلتْ في هذا المَصنع ِ.**
When this particle is used with** کانَ** and a verb, then the whole phrase is translated as a Past Perfect (had+participle).
**کانَ صديقي قد زارَني قـَبلَ سَنـَةٍ.**
My friend had visited me a year ago.
