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.
