Tenses
Although she had been trying to give up smoking for years, she made her final decision right before the New Year and since then she hasn't had any wish to light another cigarette again.
Is everything okay with the verb forms here?
Top answer
The verb forms are OK but “again” is superfluous, since “another” and “again” mean the same. “Although she had been trying…” past perfect continuous “…she made her final decision…” past “…she hasn’t had any wish…” present perfect
