Hi,
May I know the difference between the use of past perfect and simple past?
a. Mary had completed her work.
b. Mary completed her work.
Does statement (a) indicate that the work was completed some time ago, while statement (b) indicate that the work was completed in the past (time could be some time ago, or recently)?
