過(guò)去完成時(shí)的用法
(1) 與過(guò)去完成時(shí)連用的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)可以多種多樣,使用它的主要依據(jù)是看其是否發(fā)生在“過(guò)去的過(guò)去”。如:

He went there after he had finished his work. 他把事做完之後,就去哪兒了。
注意:儅主句跟由before, after, as soon as所引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間從句的動(dòng)作連接很緊密時(shí),從句也可用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。
He went there after he read the letter. 他看了那封信後就去那兒了。
(2) 過(guò)去完成時(shí)還經(jīng)常用於主句爲(wèi)過(guò)去時(shí)的賓語(yǔ)從句中。如:

They said they had seen the film. 他們說(shuō)這幕電影他們看過(guò)。
(3) 在hardly / scarcely …when…, no sooner…than… 兩個(gè)結(jié)搆中的主句通常要用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。如:
