Hello everybody, we are going to explain you the past perfect uses and

grammar
The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another
action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific
time in the past. (putting emphasis only on the fact, not the duration)
Example: Before I came here, I had spoken to Jack.
In many cases a complete sentence is written in two parts with two different
tenses:
1. The past perfect simple, to refer to the action that happened first or
earlier
2. The past simple to refer to the action that happened second or later
Sometimes the past perfect simple is used on its own and the action that took
place afterwards is understood.
1. After Sofie had finished her work, she went to lunch.
(First she finished her work and then she went to eat lunch.)
And we will use time expressions, but those are explained in another slide
