Thanks for reading my post.


Sample sentences:
Yesterday I saw a man who worked/had worked with my mom

Question:
Please correct me If I'm wrong
1. 'worked' in this case means that man currently works with my mom
2. 'had worked' means that man used to work with my mom in the past but maybe not now


Thanks a lot for any comments, corrections or suggestions!

1. 'worked' in this case means that man currently works with my mom.

Thanks a lot. Then with the past simple, It could be a regular or frequent activity at the moment of seeing or at the specific time before that
One more possible case to remember
