I have a question about tenses in English. When would you say, "Someone had heard that something happened," instead of "Someone

heard that something had happened"? I'd really appreciate it if anyone could give me a specific example.

They are both grammatically correct it is just that the former is using perfact past. As sited from  <span>Cambridge Grammar of the English Language "</span>The preterite perfect [i.e. the past perfect] locates the writing anterior to an intermediate time which is anterior to the time of speaking - it is doubly anterior (140). "

In act 5, Scene 8, Macduff was found to be taken out of his mothers womb prematurely. Due to this, He was not "born a female." This was significant because witches told Macbeth he could not be slain by a man born of a female. Therefore Macduff is Macbeth's killer.

Former U.S. president John F. Kennedy quoted John Winthrop as a source of inspiration. John F. Kennedy saw John Winthrop’s determination through Winthrop’s directive which provided caution and inspiration to the passengers. Puritan pridefulness has been represented by Winthrop’s “City upon a Hill” passage; the Puritans thought they were perfect, a city on top of a hill where everyone would admire and want to imitate. Winthrop had known that the world would watch the events in New England, not just by England.

Answer:

She looks around at all of the people. The men look scary and so do some of the women. She can't see her mom anywhere.

"Mommy?" the little girl calls out. She looks around and listens for a response. Nothing comes. "Mom? Where are you?"

At this people are looking around and asking who this little girl's mom is. The little girl starts crying. She can't see over anyone to look for her mom.

"Mom!" She says. She feels someone lifting her a man's voice answers.

"No, I'm not your mom, but you can sit on my shoulders. This way your mom can see you easier and you can keep an eye out for her." He was holding a little boy's hand and looking down at him.

"Is that your son?" The little girl asked.

"Yes it is." He said smiling.

A voice from the crowd called out.

"ROSIE? ROSIE WHERE ARE YOU? HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY BABY?" A crying mother was running down the aisle looking for the girl.

"Mom!" Rosie yelled, waving from the man's shoulders.

The man put her down into her mom's arms as he was being praised and thanked by the mother.

"Ma'am it's just being a good person. I'm glad you found her." He smiles at the mother then crouched down to Rosie, "Now, make sure you hold your Mommy's hand really tight so you don't lose her again, okay?" The little girl nodded and hugged him.

The little girl held her mother's hand tight as they got off of the bus and walked away.
