A negative particle is simply a word which negates a postitive statement. E.g. if I say "I went to the store", the insertion of the negative particle "not" would make it "I did NOT go to the store." In Greek this is generally οὐ [OU] or μή [MH] depending upon whether it is an indicative statement or a subjunctive. The two can be combined as οὐ μή [OU MH] to yield a very strong negative.
The past perfect is another name for the pluperfect. The pluperfect is frequently coupled with a simple past to indicate an event which occurred prior to the past event. "When he had finished work, he went home."
