After the children had left, there was a lot of litter in the garden.

Hi

Is this sentence OK?

After the children had left, there was a lot of litter in the garden.

Thanks,

Tom

Yes, but past perfect is uncalled for, and in fact it would be a lot better to recast: The children left a lot of litter in the garden.
