The use of the past simple with the phrase "as soon as" in the sentence in question is grammatical. When you refer to an event or action in the past, you usually use the phrase as soon as in the simple past or sometimes the past perfect as follows: As soon as I saw/had seen her, I knew there was something wrong.
The formula for writing the past perfect tense is: had + past participle. In most situations, you’ll form the past participle of a verb by adding -ed or -d to the end, but there are many irregular verbs in English. Examples: If I had talked to her before she left, we may not be in this situation.
Not in this example because the action happens at the same time as the year – ‘In 2012, sales increased’. Past Perfect is when you have two different time periods or actions, and one happened before the other e.g. By 2021, sales had increased’. The preposition ‘by’ usually signals a time period BEFORE the date. I hope that helps.
