The past perfect is used to show you which of two events happened first. Imagine that two things
happened in the past:
Here, we don't know which order the events happened in. That may be important -- perhaps I went to
see the movie after the discussion, or maybe I saw the movie before the discussion. There are many
ways to make this sequence clear, and the past perfect is one of them. This is how we do it:
Here, we KNOW that the discussion took place FIRST -- even though the sentence describing it
comes afterwards. We discussed the movie, and THEN I went to see it. This can be very useful when
you are telling a story or relating a sequence of events. At any point in your story, you can jump BACK
to a previous event, and your reader will not be confused, because the past perfect will make it clear
that the event happened previously. Here is another example:
I wanted to live in a foreign country, so I applied for a job in Japan. Judy lived in Japan, so I called her
to find out more about the culture and lifestyle there.
I wanted to live in a foreign country, so I applied for a job in Japan. Judy had lived in Japan, so I
called her to find out more about the culture and lifestyle there.
(Judy no longer lived in Japan -- she returned from there before I applied for the job.)

The Bush administration has insisted that Haiti's exiled president was not kidnapped or

forced him to leave
The Pentagon said on Monday that as many as 2,000 US troops could go to Haiti to help

to curb the violence that culminated on Sunday after Aristide's departure.
"They were telling me that if I don't leave they would start shooting, and be killing in a
matter of time," Aristide said.
