    We use the past perfect to:
    • An event that ocurred before another event in the past.
    • A state that started in the past, and continued up to some
    time in the past.
    *(We use the past perfect for the previous action and the simple past for the
    following action.)
    • An action that happened before a specific time in the past
    Examples:

    • Carlos had packed his bags a week before he left for his trip.
    • When I arrived, dinner had finished
    • When the movie started, I realized that I had seen it before.
    • The train had just left when I arrived at the station.
    • They had not [hadn’t] studied English before they went to
    London.
    • He hadn’t been to France before the trip in 2008.
    • I’d been depressed for a long time before I changed jobs.
    • Structure

    • Affirmative: Subject + had + past participle…
    • Negative: Subject + had + not (hadn’t) + past
    participle…
    • Question: (Wh-word) + Had + subject + past
