QUESTION
What is the difference between I had finished and I finished?
The grammatical difference is that “I had finished” is in the past perfect tense” and “I finished” is in the simple past tense.
We use the past perfect tense to show that some action happened and was completed before another action in the past. There must be two actions at least, both in the past, and one action has to happen before the other one. We use the past perfect tense for the earlier action and the simple past tense for the later action.
The simple past tense is used for an action that happened at some specific time in the past, and we mention that time in the sentence or it is present somewhere in the context.
An example will make this clearer. Let us imagine that three things happened last night, one after the other: (1) I finished my homework; (2) I began getting ready for bed; and (3) and earthquake struck. We can write the following sentences about what happened last night:
I finished my homework at about 10:25.
I started getting ready for bed at 10:25.
The earthquake struck at about 10:30.
Notice that in all three sentences, we use the simple past tense, since each sentence containsonly one action, and in each case we are thinking of that action by itself and giving the time when that action happened. (It does not have to be the exact time, but in this case it is.)
Now, if we put all three actions together into one sentence, without giving the exact times, we need to show the time sequence, that is, the actions happening one after the other and not all at the same time. To do this, we use the past perfect tense for the action that happened before the last action, and the simple past tense for the last action. When we do this, we get:
•I had finished my homework and was getting ready for bed when the earthquake struck.
As you can see, we used “had finished” (past perfect) to show that this action happened and was completed before the earthquake struck (simple past). When we use these different tenses, we create a timeline of events, or a sequence of events with before and after—not all at the same time.
We use the past perfect tense only in combination with the simple past tense and only when there are at least two actions, one before and the other after, in the past.
