Talk:Spanish/Pluperfect

The 2 examples given where the pluperfect is used with the subjunctive are mistaken. The examples actually show the pluperfect used with the preterit, not the subjunctive. Ud. se había comido la merienda para cuando llegó (preterit)al cine.

You (singular, formal) had eaten the snack by the time that you arrived at the theatre.

¿Habías terminado la tarea para cuando tu amigo te llamó(preterit)?

Had you finished your homework by the time that your friend called you?

The subjunctive mood indicates uncertainty or doubt, in these 2 examples the actions llegó (arrived) and llamó(called) are finished, completed actions in the past, therefore they are preterit, not subjunctive.
