Tenses and grammer
Hey, Does this sentence stand correct - I had seen Simran when she was in the first year of college and how excited she used to get when she talked about marriages.
Or should it be i saw Simran
Thanks.

too finicky 7 should it be I saw Simran ? Both "had seen" and "saw" are grammatically correct, but "had seen" (the past perfect) is a dependent tense, so whether that tense is appropriate or not depends on what comes before it in the text. If you're just starting the conversation, you say I saw .
