The past perfect is used in the same way as the present perfect, but it refers to a time in the past, not the present. We use the past perfect:

For this use, we often use the past perfect continuous:

for something that happened several times before a point in the past and continued after that point:

when we are reporting our experience up to a point in the past:

We often use expressions with for and since with the past perfect:

I was sorry when the factory closed. I had worked there for ten years.
