Past Perfect Tense
Hi, I'm a little bit confused about past perfect tense.
"He had finished the work ahead of us."
or I can just simply say
"He finished the work ahead of us."
Which is more commonly used?
Are the grammar of both correct?
Thank you.

You might say that the perfect is redundant because the past/anterior meaning is conveyed by ahead of us .
