When can I use through pain? - "Through pain" means that you do something overcoming your pain.
"Was is pain" - here it points out to his state - he was suffering, he was feeling pain at that moment.

Hi!
1. "собрался" - in this context is like the Present Perfect form in English ("Have you really decided to...")
2. "собираешься" - is like the Present Continuous form ("Are you going to...")
Some other examples:
"Я решил/собрался получить степень по математике" - "I've decided to obtain a degree in math"
The future here is implied by the second verb - получить/obtain which is a bare infinitive. In Russian it's like the same.

Hi. Nice article, though it's almost 4 years passed since you wrote it. But it doesn't have an expiration date.
What I would like to comment on - I couldn't find any Past Perfect use in your Conversation Example, although you mentioned that it was used there. Could you point me out to the line where it was used?
Thank you in advance. I hope you're an italki user still and will be able to reply.
Best regards,
Valeriy
