• Here in the question the verb given is 'went' and we know that in 'Past Perfect' tense Had + Verb's third form' is used.
• The third form of 'went' is 'gone' so it becomes 'had gone'.

• Thus as a general rule we change :

$\begin{gathered} \boxed{ \begin{array}{c|c} \bf Direct & \bf Indirect \\ \sf • \: Now & \sf • \: Then \\ \sf • \: This & \sf • \: That \\ \sf • \: These & \sf • Those \\ \sf • \: Here & \sf • \: There \\ \sf • \: Ago & \sf •\: Before \\ \sf •\: Today & \sf • \: That \: day \\ \sf • \: Tomorrow & \sf • \: The \: next \: day \\ \sf • \: Yesterday & \sf • \: The \: previous \: day \\ \sf • \: Last \: night & \sf • \: The \: night \: before \end{array}} \\ \end{gathered}$
