You have definitely noticed something very important. In each sentence, there are two actions. Both the actions had happened in the past. One of them happened before the other. And so we need to use had with that action. For ex. In the first sentence, there are two actions- arrived and left. What happened first? Yes, the plane left before he arrived so we have used had left.
Now use the same pattern and write at least ten sentences.
