Before Yesterday ⏪

Past Perfect is used when two things happened in the past, and we want to show which one happened first.

Structure: Had + V3.

Example:

10:00: I ate breakfast.
11:00: I arrived at work.
"When I arrived at work, I had eaten breakfast."

Without Past Perfect, the order can be confusing.
