THE PAST PERFECT TENSE
Past perfect tense is used to indicate that one action occurred before another action in the past. In other words, past perfect tense indicates the first of the two actions.*
For example:
* When I woke up this morning, my roommate had left already.
* After I had eaten my dinner, I went to see a movie.
* Before I arrived at the theater, the movie had already begun.
* Sometimes, when the meaning is clear from context, the simple past tense can be used.
* After I had gone shopping, I stopped at the health spa.
* After I went shopping, I stopped at the health spa.
