Point 66 in the category of PAST is past perfect simple used for a CHANGE OF SITUATION.
The EGP uses HAD + ‘planned’ and ‘wanted’ + ‘but’ in their examples.
Since this is a difficult structure to find in corpora due to the length of sentences, we have looked directly in Google news for examples:
HAD PLANNED
Infrastructure Magazine
The New Yorker
mlive.comHAD WANTED
Warrnambool Standard
The GuardianThis is too hard to find on iWeb directly as there are too many spaces possible beween words and looking for but as a collocate does not show a change of situation. We can attempt following the basic pattern found in the EGP patterns which is:
had _vvn to _vvi and select some that appear to be discussing some kind of intention. (and later look for ‘but’)
