Past Perfect:
 We use past perfect when we talk about something that happened
before another action.
 The second action is in past simple because it happened after the first
action.
 Structure: Subject + had + v. participle
I had played videogames
 Negative: Subject + had not + v. participle
I hadn't played videogames
 Interrogative: Had + subject + v. participle + ?
Had I played videogames?
Past Simple:
 Structure: Subject+ v. past+ complement
I played videogames
 Negative: Subject+ did not+ v. infinitive
I didn't play videogames
 Interrogative: Did+ Subject+ v. infinitive+ complement+?
Did I play videogames?

To identify which one to use we have the help of some connectors:

 With before, by the time, until and when the verb is in the simple past.
 With after the verb is the past perfect
