Is this Correct?
I have heard a lot, and I wanted to find out about it.
Can I use:
I had heard a lot, and I wanted to find out about it.
Can someone give me the use of that sentence when:
1. I still hear about it every now and then, and I still want to know more about it.
2. I no longer hear about it (but I used to), but I still want to know more about it.
