Hello usingenglish;
"The Red Cross workers had not expected the refugees from the flooded plain to be as desperate and as undernourished as those whom they had seen earlier in the week.''
I would like to ask why isn't incorrect the past participle ''had seen earlier''; would'd be ''saw'', because such action occurred later, not at the same past ''expected'' did?
