Note
One spelling does two jobs, and what comes before it tells them apart: they lunched is a plain past, while they had lunched is the perfect. The verb can also take an object, meaning to treat someone to the meal, so a passive is possible too: the visiting author was lunched by her publisher. Without an object, it simply means ate lunch.
