Hi,
I would like to know whether the following sentence is correct.
[FONT="]I [/FONT]had been[FONT="] feeling sick [/FONT]since[FONT="] I [/FONT]ate[FONT="] that cake.[/FONT]
It seems incorrect to me because the past perfect tense should happen earlier than the simple past tense. So, I think the correct sentence should be:
[FONT="]I [/FONT]had been[FONT="] feeling sick [/FONT]since[FONT="] I had eaten[/FONT][FONT="] that cake.
[/FONT]
Or
[FONT="]I felt[/FONT][FONT="] sick [/FONT]since[FONT="] I had eaten[/FONT][FONT="] that cake.
[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT][FONT="]Thank you[/FONT][FONT="][/FONT]
