The key word is " after" which indicates the receiving already took place. Therefore, I had raised .... is correct because it preceded "after I received".

  • The key word is " after" which indicates the receiving already took place.
  • Therefore, I had raised ....
  • is correct because it preceded "after I received".
  • It's important to recognize the chronology in which events happened because they decide what prefect tense to apply and where.
  • ", then the chronological implication is relatively present.
