Tense used:

• The past perfect tense is "had known."
• When writing, it is common practice to use a third-person past for the narrative.
• So, "she knew" would be used for anything the woman knew at the time.

Had:

• The past tense and past participle of 'have' is 'had'.
• Had is sometimes used instead of 'if' to begin a clause referring to a situation that could have occurred but did not.
• For example, the phrase 'had she been elected' is equivalent to 'if she had been elected.'

Known:

• The past participle of 'know' is 'known'.
• You use known to describe someone or something that everyone or a specific group of people recognizes or is familiar with.
