thanks for the links.
but yes, in spite of all these discussions, at times I'm getting confused which usage of past perfect with "because" or "since" are considered correct and which are not - be it in any causal sentence or in sentences that don't express causality on GMAT!
is there NO grammatical standpoint to understand these nuances ? or is it simply driven by the meaning ?
don't really understand how this particular sequence seems viable ? because in a causal sentence, the clause part that follows "because" or "since", always occurs before the effect part. so how we can say that both the cause and effect occur AT THE SAME TIME ?GMATGuruNY wrote:Sir Lester lent his name because his campaign was successful.
Here, the campaign is successful and Sir Lester lends his name AT THE SAME TIME.
eager to know your thoughts!
