The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.

Although the above use of Past Perfect is normally limited to Non-Continuous Verbs and non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, the words "live," "work," "teach," and "study" are sometimes used in this way even though they are NOT Non-Continuous Verbs.
