The Past Perfect Tense.
The Past Perfect is used:
1) to denote an action completed before a certain moment in the past. The moment may be indicated by another past action expressed by a verb in the Past Simple or an adverbial phrase.
Fortunately the rain had stopped before they started.
By 6 oclock yesterday they have already finished their work.
The definite moment can be understood by the situation.
She had put her knitting and was looking at her niece in surprise.
2) to denote an action which began before a definite moment in the past, continued up to that moment and was still going on at that moment. In this case either the starting point is indicated (the conjunction since is used) or the whole period of duration (the preposition for is used). The Past Perfect is often used instead of Past Perfect Continuous with the verbs which are not used in the continuous aspect.
He knew ithe had known it for some time already.
They hadnt spoken to each other for three days.
3) to denote the completion of an action (not necessarily the priority).
He waited until she had found the key.
4) in written speech with the conjunctions hardly when, scarcely when, no sooner than.
Hardly had I entered the room, when I smelt something burning.
No sooner had they arrived, than they were asked to go to the headmaster.
