The pluperfect tense (middle/passive) in Greek is a combination of the perfect tense stem and the past imperfect endings. It is used to describe an action that was completed before another past action or time. The formation of the pluperfect tense (middle/passive) follows these steps:

  1. Perfect Tense Stem: Start with the perfect tense stem, which is formed by adding a specific reduplication pattern and a tense suffix to the verb root.

  2. Augment: Add the augment (ε-) to the beginning of the perfect tense stem.

  3. Endings: Attach the appropriate secondary middle/passive endings to the augmented perfect tense stem.

Here's an example with the verb "λύω" (to loose):

  • Perfect Tense Stem: λέ-λυ-μαι
  • Augmented Perfect Tense Stem: ἐ-λέ-λυ-μην
  • Pluperfect Tense (1st Person Singular): ἐ-λέ-λυ-μην

The pluperfect tense (middle/passive) is relatively rare in Greek literature, as it is often replaced by the more common periphrastic construction using the imperfect of the verb "εἰμί" (to be) and the perfect participle.
