No! a few months ago = time past. " infers "past to present".
- No!
- a few months ago = time past.
- " infers "past to present".
- Also when you have an action being described in a sentence with "until", it is more idiomatic and smooth placing the action after "until".
- I made that suggestion in the other post about past perfect.
