Post by Andrii »

hi there)

could you clarify, why in this sentence we use the Past Perfect instead of the Past Simple?

"When I first saw the house I had just move to the area"


thanks in advance

N.B. When I first saw the house I had just MOVED to the area.

Please consult the ELC for such general/basic questions about tenses.
