Grammar- Past Perfect

We use the past perfect when we wish to stress that one action or situation in the past occurred before another action or situation in the past.

•It was obvious that something had happened to them. (It had happened before it became obvious)

•I had been waiting for more than an hour when they arrived. (When they arrived I had already been waitin g …)

•The past perfect can serve the same purpose as conjunctions of time such as when, after and before:

•When she (had) finished her work she left the office.

•After Jimmy (had) arrived, the party became really good.

•Before he retired my father (had) worked in the post office.

Put the verbs in brackets in the Past Perfect. Pay attention to the position of the adverb in your sentence.
