The past perfect is a verb tense used to talk about actions that were completed before some point in the past.
When to Use the Past Perfect
So what’s the difference between a past perfect and a simple past? When you’re talking about some point in the past and want to reference an event that happened even earlier, using the past perfect allows you to convey the sequence of the events. It’s also clearer and more specific.
