Is it possible to use 'since' with past perfect?
e.g. I hadn't talked with him since I had gone to Madrid.
e.g. I hadn't talked with him since I had gone to Madrid.
What makes you think that "since" is usually followed by the past simple?But what's the difference ? I know that usually since is followed by the past simple therefore what's the difference if I use it with past simple or past perfect?
e.g. I hadn't talked with him since I had been in Madrid.
I hadn't talked with him since I was in Madrid.
Yes, it would.Would it be correct if I use the past simple after since in the example above?
