Some doubts about the sentence.
Hello again 
I'm watching an episode of Dr.Phil and I have just heard something like this:
"They knew each other since they were 7. " (a person is talking about dead girl and her killer)
I'm not sure if I have heard it correctly and here are my doubts about this sentence.
- Can we say in this context: They had/have known each other since they were 7?
I'm very curious about this Thank you in advance for the explanation.
