    I am this day years old when I learned what past perfect's is supposed to be. I always used it as a 'cool' version of simple past. Thank you for enlightening me on this :)

    - What did you do yesterday day? + Is talking about the events or situations in the past that completely finished. - What were you doing yesterday? + It shows us that this question is asking for the answer which relates to the past events that were happening nom stop nor have not finished in thes past.

    Your effort is very much appriciated. But do you mean that we can't use/ before/ or /after /with the past perfect at all ? For we have been told by a teacher /not native/to use p.p. either before BEFORE or after AFTER. Please, tell me for you are trusted.

    "My train had left before I got to the station." This is perfectly correct sentence. I don't get why you confuse your viewer. Of course you don't have to use past perfect in this kind of sentence but it doesn't mean that this sentence is incorrect.
