Le Plus-que-parfait in French is the direct equivalent of the Pluperfect in English. It could be described as "the past of the past":
e.g. After I had eaten my dinner, I went for a walk.
Of course, English speakers are likely to make contractions: I'd eaten, etc.
Look at these regular verbs conjugated in the Plus-que-parfait:
The Plus-que-parfait is formed on the same model as the Passé Composé, except avoir (or être) are here conjugated in the Imparfait.
For -ER verbs, you form the past participle by replacing the -er ending with -é.
For -IR verbs, you form the past participle by replacing the -ir ending with -i.
For -RE verbs, you form the past participle by replacing the -dre ending with -du.
Note: the exceptions of verbs with être instead of avoir are the same as in the Passé Composé.
