Grammar - tenses

What is incorrect about this sentence? 'He wasn't a stranger because I have met him before'. I don't know - thanks for the help!
  

Top answer

The sequence of tenses is strange. The past perfect, not present perfect, is used for a prior past event. 'He wasn't a stranger because I had met him before'
