    The document provides examples of how to use the past perfect tense to demonstrate the order of events in a sentence. It shows how placing two past actions in the past perfect (had + past participle) and past simple verbs allows you to clarify which action occurred first when retelling something that took place entirely in the past. The examples illustrate using the past perfect to express that one event occurred before another prior event.
