simpe past and past perfect

[ridvann]

Hello,

We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.

I finished my homework and then went out.

I finished my homework and 2 hours later went out.

They are ok.

But:

I had finished my homework and then went out.

I had finished my homework and 2 hours later went out.

Are they ok?

Thanks...

I had finished my homework and then went out.
I had finished my homework and 2 hours later went out.

Are they ok?

No really. There is no reason for a past perfect in those sentence. These are fine:

I had finished my homework, and so I went out.
I had finished my homework when I went out.

Thanks for the answer.

I finished my homework, and so I went out.

We can use this way also, is that right?

Yes
