Question

Как правильно писать и почему?
"Susan Calvin had been born in the year 1982" 
or
 "Susan Calvin was born in the year 1982"

Answer

правильно Susan Calvin was born in 1982. слово year не обязательно использовать, потому что из контекста итак понятно.

Answer

The rule you are looking for is "past perfect". Find it, and the difference will be clear as the day before yesterday. :)

Answer

As the fact the sentence tells this - Susan Calvin was born in 1982 (Past Simple), but you may have a case when you do not know how you will call the child, who has just been born (Present Perfect): Susan or Paula.

Answer

Второй вариант правильный, так как с датой употребляется Past Simple. В Past Perfect (1 вариант) данное действие должно предшествовать другому действию в прошлом.
