Explicação:
Past Perfect
O Past Perfect ou Past Perfect Simple (Passado Perfeito ou Passado Perfeito Simples) é um tempo verbal usado para expressar ações passadas que aconteceram antes de outra ação que também ocorrera no passado.
Formação do Past Perfect
O Past Perfect é formado pelo verbo auxiliar to have conjugado no Simple Past (had) + Past Participle do verbo principal.
Ex.: “Eu já havia tomado banho quando você me ligou convidando-me para jantar”.
É possível perceber duas ações que ocorrem no passado, uma sempre antes da outra. É importante ressaltar isso, pois não se tratam de ações simultâneas. A primeira ação, no caso, é “tomar banho” e a segunda é “você me ligar”. Ou seja, quando você me ligou eu já havia tomado banho.
