Question about a task!!! Is it correct - 'Sony offered Neela a job before she had finished her degree'. I think past perfect simple is that first 'Sony had offered Neela a job' before past simple (second) 'she finished her degree' ?????

Hello, Dmitriy.

We use a simple past with a past perfect tense or vice-versa.

Sony offered Neela a job before Neela had finished her degree.

The meaning of this sentence is that the job offer was given before Neela even obtained her degree.


I hope this helps! :)
