Dear native English speakers,
According to one of my grammar books, both (a) and (b) are correct.
(a) After he had finished his exams he went to Paris for a month.
(b) After he finished his exams he went to Paris for a month.
Then, how about (c) and (d)? Would both be correct?
(c) I had not gone very far before it began to rain.
(d) I did not go very far before it began to rain.
Thanks in advance.
