Litnax Posted March 13, 2014 Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 'has had/ have had/ had had'A couple of years ago I thought I finally understood how and when to use present perfect and past perfect tense until someone corrected me. Can some provide a simple explanation for me? I know when to use has/have/had except when to put 'had' after the verb(s)? :confused: At this point, I only understand that we use these tenses to indicate an action that began at some point in the past and has not yet reached its end.

OddVisions Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Has is used in refference to a singular object. For instance, Lee has been gone a while. Meanwhile, had is used in refference to plural objects. Lily and George had a good summer. Then of course there are times when had is used in referrence to the object's self. For example: I had it!
