Question

Hi there
You use 'was' when the subject is singular such as, I was eating icecream or he was angry.
Had is used as the past tense of have; I had a bad dream. We had a new tutor.
Had and the past particple is used when one event happens after another such as; They had cooked the meal before I left the house.

For example: "She was late for work yesterday and she had also been late for work the day before."
In this sentence you are referring to a time in the past. So the first part of the sentence happened and the second is only there in relation to the first sentence. Was" is in the absolute past and "had" occurs before the absolute past. This is called an absolute-relative tense.
