Le subjonctif v le plus que parfait
This question relates to:French lesson "Conjugate devoir in the pluperfect tense in French (Le Plus-que-Parfait)"

Hi Jack,
I can't find this example in the lesson but I am assuming they would say -
La dinde était tellement brûlée qu'il avait dû aller en acheter une autre
The pluperfect is correct, don't assume that every time you have a second clause introduced by 'que' that the subjunctive will follow.
Take a look at the following Kwiziq lesson which will give you some sub-lessons when the subjunctive has to be used -
Hope this helps!
