PAST PERFECT with WHEN, UNTIL, AFTER, BEFORE

Past Perfect часто используется в придаточном предложении после when и after ( = после того как ) и until ( = до тех пор пока), чтобы показать, что данное действие завершилось до начала другого. Также Past Perfect употребляется в сочетании с before ( = раньше, до этого). Если when (= когда), а before (= до того, как), они употребляются с Past Simple .

Например:

* He called 10 minutes after you had left the house.

* When she had done the shopping, she went to see her parents.(when = после того как )

* They didn’t move to their new house until they had done all the repairs.

* He was talking to a man that we had never seen before. ( before = раньше, до этого)

* When she woke up that morning, everybody had already gone. ( when = когда)

* She had been abroad five times before she got married. ( before = до того как)

Perfect or Past Simple.
