It had already happened. 事情已经发生了。

事情已经发生了。

A picture lesson on the past perfect with 'already', 'just', 'after' and 'before'. Six pictures (s-x) show an earlier completed action (the car had been sold, the train had already left, the housework had been finished before she went out, they had had dinner before they arrived). The written exercises rewrite sentences using 'after' and answer present-perfect and past-perfect questions. The grammar workbook drills combining sentences with 'when' + past perfect, adding 'just' with the past perfect, and making sentences with the past perfect.
