You should use the past perfect when one event takes place further back in time relative to another specific past moment. Ex : "She had completed the task before I did" Here in the sentence, "I did" and "Had completed" both are past tenses. "did" is past simple and "had completed" is past perfect.

It is basically about two past events. The past event which occurs first is where "past perfect" has to be used.

Past Perfect - Had+Past Participate.
