Simple Past vs Pluperfect
0 Are both of these sentences grammatically correct? 02 br
00 "Many people did not consider him to be a true (nationality) since his family emigrated to (country) in the early 20th century." 02 br
00 "Many people did not consider him to be a true (nationality) since his family had emigrated to (country) in the early 20th century." 02 br
00 I definitely prefer the 2nd sentence, my only question is if the first one is (more or less) correct as well. It's really more of a question if that one is strictly speaking grammatically incorrect. 0-
