Use of the pluperfect with pour être/avoir done something

The examples in the lesson use the pluperfect before this expression but why? In English it translates in to the imperfect?

This question relates to:French lesson "Expressing cause with "Pour (+être) allé" = For going/having gone in French"

Bonjour Bronwyn,

I cannot see any expression in Le Plus-que-parfait in the French sentences. Do you mean "ont été arrêtés", "ai été félicitée", "avez été promu" ? If so, these are expressions in Le Passé Composé in La Voix Passive.

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
