Feedback

The thief left first (1st action), then Jack realized it (2nd action).

"Working" was the background process; "took" was the sudden event that interrupted/happened during it.

The entry happened long before Jack arrived home.

Poisoning the dog was the preparation (1st action).

The escape was completed before the police got there.

The planning happened weeks before the failure to catch him.

Two continuous actions happening at the same time in the past.

He was in the process of searching (Continuous) when the dropping happened (completed before the detective found it).

Two quick, sequenced actions in the past.

The sun rising is our "deadline" in the past. Since the police failed to find clues before this deadline, we must use Past Perfect for the earlier period.
