• Could you please help me with choosing the right verb tense in this sentence: Dan: Did you have a sleeping bag? Jeff: Yes. Luckily, I had just bought a really good one that (go on sale) for only $35. I'm wavering between Past Simple and Past Perfect. As far as I understand, Past Simple can be used there since buying a sleeping bag is a complete action with an implied time reference (that time he was at the store) but there also Past Perfect can be used since sleeping bag going on sale happened before he had bought it

There is no concern about creating more tension because they already have enough tension between each other.

Sentence 2 does not emphasize the past. (by using present tense) Am I correct? Other than this, I really can't figure out the differences between them. Do both of them sound natural to English native speakers?

At the same time, my computer processor, referred to as its "hardware," which scans the program, decoding the electrical impulses, and effectively "reading" the information they contain. This is similar to how the human brain works. If programs are the software with which we work, then they require the corresponding hardware to enable them to run. Humans have this hardware; animals don’t." In this context, is the verb "look for" in the 1st sentence similar in meaning to "scan" or "decode"??😊😂 If not, what does the verb "look for" mean?? 😉😭

• My questions: - Is what ChatGPT said correct, especially for explanation of sentence 1? - Is there any main difference between sentence 2 and 3? - Which one would a native speaker normally say? From ChatGPT: Sentence 1: "The game has been free for years until today." Tense: Present perfect. Meaning: This sentence is awkward. It implies the game is currently free but contradicts by saying “until today.” A better phrasing would be, “The game has been free until today, but now it is not.” Sentence 2: "The game was free for years until today." Tense: Simple past. Meaning: The game was free for years, but this has changed as of today. It suggests that the game is no longer free starting today. Sentence 3: "The game had been free for years until today." Tense: Past perfect. Meaning: This indicates that the game was free for years before today. It suggests that the free status has ended today.
