mukulkushwaha95 When do we use 'I went out with my friends' and 'I had gone out with my friends'? You don't need the past perfect unless there's something else (another action or event) further in the past. The past perfect is basically used for something that happened or that existed previously to something else in the past .

Odessa DawnDo they stand for e.g.?
Actually, I should've written just 'e.g.' which you may already know means 'for example'. Apologies for that. But I'd like to tell you that 'ex' is not wrong either. I've seen 'ex' written many times on this Forum itself.
