Why the author used the past perfect tense? I read this phrase in the "A Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula Le Guin: "Yet even as the spell bound him, he had laughed". As I understand this means that after the boy was bound by the spell he still could laugh. I don't understand why the author wrote "had laughed" instead of "laughed": "Yet even as the spell bound him, he laughed". Thank you in advance.

Incomprehensible sentence in the passive voice Hi everyone! I'd perfomed some exercises about passive voice and faced with this sentence: "We were sent a letter the day before yesterday". You can google this phrase easily. Is it passive voice? oO It's not clear for me. If it's passive, then what is active? Thanks in advance!

How do you do? Should I answer the question "How do you do?" or maybe it equals "Hello" and answer not necessary?- Excuse me, Hello! - How do you do? and then, should I respond or it is better to ignore this greeting question and continue: - Could you tell me where is post office situated?
