Grammar
Simple past v/s past perfect
I finished my studies before I moved to New york.
v/s
I had finished my studies before I moved to New york.
In my opinion, both the sentences are quite clear in terms of sequencing the events. Why should I use I had finished ?
Is it possibly because of time gap between the two events?
Had finished signifies more time gap ?
'Finished' suggests just before?
