Dear teachers,
In the following sentence, should it be "had won" or simply just "won"? (My opinion is, it should be a simple past tense [=won]):
I have a vivid memory of writing the story that had won me second prize in a writing competition at the age of 11.
Thank you very much
Yes, just use Simple Past.
