Which question is correct?
Last week, I asked my friend about his brother, Dave. This was my question.
(1) I asked, "After Dave had his wisdom tooth taken off, how long did he wait to eat?"
My friend was confused by my question and revised it a little.
(2) He said his revised question, "After he had his wisdom tooth taken off, how long did he wait before he ate?"
We are not native English speakers. Whose question is correct? Thanks a lot.
