We use the simple past tense to talk about a past
action. When we want to talk about something that
happened at an even earlier time in the past, we
use it.

She said that ___________________________.
she had been to Shanghai twice
e.g. We emptied the tomb of everything it
contained, said Carter.
Carter said that________________________ ______
__________________
they had emptied the tomb of everything it
contained
We use it in reported speech to refer to an
action that had already happened at the time of
speaking. We can change the simple past tense and
present perfect tense in direct speech to the
past perfect tense in reported speech.

The use of it simply indicates that an action
comes before another past action. It does not
mean that the past action happened a long time
ago.

4, Then a few months after Carter had opened the
tomb, Lord Carnarvon fell ill with a fever and

We often use the past perfect tense with time
expressions such as when, after, before, until,
since, by, for, yet and already.

The difference between Present Perfect and Past
