The following sentece is taken from an Entrance examination.
Students are required to pick up the right word from the three words.
I lost the pen I ( bought / have bought / had bought ) the day before.
The correct answer is "had bought ". but one of my students said that "bought " should be also correct.
How can I expalin to my student.
I think the sentence " I lost the pen I bought the day before" sounds also all right.
