Use of Had
Is it wrong if I use tweeted instead of had tweeted. If yes then please explain.
"Soon after she encountered the experience while proceeding to New Delhi, the Thoothukudi MP had tweeted."
Top answer
Use "tweeted" unless there is a reason to use "had tweeted". The MP would have to have tweeted before some other event in the narrative.

0she encountered the experience is not natural English.We more commonly say eg she had the experience.
tweeted is more natural in this sentence than had tweeted. The Past Perfect needs a context in which something happens before something else. eg The phone rang. I had just got into the bath. I don't see this in your sentence.
