I remember "pluperfect" in a foreign language context, but not English, so I looked it up too:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluperfect

In English grammar, the equivalent of the pluperfect (a form such as "had written") is now often called the past perfect, since it combines past tense with perfect aspect. (The same term is sometimes used in relation to the grammar of other languages.) English also has a past perfect progressive (or past perfect continuous) form: "had been writing".
