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).

Describe how you passed a night at village when your bus broke down​
stepladder [879]

One naight, on my way home from school my bus broke down as we came to a village, so the bus driver got us a sub bus while we stayed in the tavern with this lady named Esmeralda who fed us mac and cheese. Soon after the sun had completely set and we realized the bus wasn't coming, so the bus driver arranged for us to stay at the Hotel across the street from the tavern. The next day at around noon, the bus had finally arrived, but by that time we'd missed half the school day. Instead of making us go back to school in the same clothes we wore yesterday, the principal granted us all schoolleave to go home early for the day... but the bus broke down again.
