Its use to refer to pre-past actions was by no means obligatory, especially if other exponents of anteriority were present. Some attention is also paid to the variation between the auxiliary verbs be and have.}, type={Article}, title={The use of the pluperfect in the corpus of early English correspondence}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/131435/PDF-MASTER/10_LINGUISTICA_28_Molencki_THE_USE.pdf}, }
