改正:
第二段，Example 應該係 [was eating] not [was drinking]。

改正: 例三，最後句中文應該系：
[同埋重繼續沖緊]。

回應：過去式同過去完成式有咩分別

[過去式]是指過去某一個時間點 [曾經做過]。
e.g.:
He completed high school (1) last month (2) in 2002 (3) 5 years ago.

[過去完成式]是指過去 [曾經做完] 咗一個時段。
e.g.:
He had completed high shool (1) for only one month (2) since 2002 (3) for 5 years (4) since 5 years ago

所以，如果唔提時間，兩種用法都解以前讀咗中學。但如要指出發生的時間或時段，用法就唔同。

補充： 過去式同過去完成式有咩分別

响以下例子，打電話系[過去式]，寫完文章系[過去完成式]。兩樣唔可以反轉：

When you called to remind me at 8pm last night, I had just finished writing that essay.

When you called to remind me at 8pm last night, I had finished writing that essay for two hours already.
