PAST SIMPLE

USES

Finished actions, states or habits in the past. 1: We use it with finished actions, states or habits in the past when we have a finished time word (yesterday, last week, at 2 o'clock, in 2003). I went to the cinema yesterday. We spent a lot of time in Japan in 2007.

PAST PERFECT

We can use the past perfect to show the order of two past events. The past perfect shows the earlier action and the past simple shows the later action. When the police arrived, the thief had escaped. We can also use before + past perfect to show that an action was not done or was incomplete when the past simple action happened. They left before I'd spoken to them.
