Hello Everyone,
I started my preparation for GMAT this month.
I was reading a news article in International New York Times dated at 13 March 2015 and was not sure about the usage of the tense in the text.
Text :
The Deutsche Bank unit had not planned to transfer any profit or capital to the parent company, and Santander said it had not requested to repatriate profit from US as part of it capital plan.
According to my understanding one should use past perfect (an earlier action) along with a verb in past tense (later action), but the above text doesn't do so.
So I wanted to ask whether the above usage of past perfect is also acceptable?
Regards,
Vipul

It is possible that both of these past tense events happened before some earlier event that is discussed in some other sentence. As far as the GMAT is concerned, the only justifiable use of the past perfect is with a simple past tense event or a time marker.

Thank you for replying Kyle.
Does that mean we can have the past perfect verb and the simple past tense verb in two different sentences?
I thought it must be in the same sentence.
