Разница
между
The Past Simple
и
The Past Perfect
Past Simple используется, когда действия происходят в хронологическом порядке, а Past Perfect – когда нужно показать, какое действие произошло первым, раньше остальных действий.
He started the car, turned the radio on and fastened the seat belt. – Он завел машину, включил радио и пристегнул ремень безопасности.
Действия описываются в хронологическом порядке: сначала он завел машину, потом включил радио и пристегнул ремень безопасности.
He started the car, turned the radio on, but before he had fastened the seat belt. – Он завел машину, включил радио, но перед этим пристегнул ремень безопасности.
Действия описываются не в хронологическом порядке: сначала он пристегнул ремень безопасности, а затем завел машину и включил радио.
Часто в подобных предложениях используется слово when (когда).
When I got home, my son took my car. – Когда я пришел домой, мой сын взял у меня машину.
When I got home, I found that my son had taken my car. – Когда я пришел домой, я обнаружил, что мой сын взял мою машину.
Если из контекста нам понятно, что одно действие произошло раньше другого, можно использовать как Past Perfect, так и Past Simple. Часто понять контекст и очередность событий помогают следующие слова-маркеры: before (перед тем как, до того как), after (после того как), first (сперва, сначала), as soon as (сразу после того как, как только), earlier (раньше) и т. д.
I didn’t worry about speaking in front of so many people. I gave public speeches earlier. – Я не переживал насчет выступления перед большим количеством людей. Я и ранее выступал на публике.

между

и

Future Perfect Continuous и Future Perfect Simple похожи, а иногда могут быть взаимозаменяемыми. Например, в случае с глаголами, которые не используются с временами группы Continuous: know, understand и другими.
