Hello,
I'm supposed to make up a context to these sentences:
(1) "She had been worrying ever since the letter arrived."
(2) "She had been worrying ever since the letter had arrived."
Personally, I don't like the second sentence, because it sounds unusual to me and I don't see the difference at all (if there is an actual difference). Nonetheless, I've got to carry out the task, so here is my suggestion:
(1)
My mother used to be a happy person. One day a letter arrived. In fact, she had been worrying ever since the letter arrived.
(2)
My mother finally felt relieved. In fact, she had been worrying ever since the letter had arrived.
Do you think it could work?
As usual, thank you in advance!
