Has taken or had taken?

The verb “to take” has a simple past tense “took” and a past participle “taken.” The past participle, “taken,” combines with “to have” to create either the present perfect (“has taken” or “have taken”) or the past perfect (“had taken”).

Has or had already?

Speakers of British English use already with a verb in a perfect tense, putting it after ‘have’, ‘has’, or ‘had’, or at the end of a clause. Some speakers of American English use already with the simple past tense of the verb instead of a perfect tense. They had already voted for him at the first ballot.

Has been or had been examples?

Present perfect ‘have/has been ‘ is used when describing an action completed in the recent past and still assumes importance in the present. We use ‘had been’ when you describe something that happened in the past before something else in the past.

Was been is correct?

The difference between “has been” and “was” is that “has been” is used in the present perfect continuous tense whereas “was” is used in the past continuous tense. They are used for two different tenses and for two different times, present and past.

Had been done meaning?

Had done or had been done?

Have done — Have done is a present perfect tense, generally it is used when the action is completed recently/just now. Had done– Had done is a past perfect tense, generally refers to something which happened earlier in the past, before another action also occured in the past.

What tense is had been done?

Where do we use had?

We use have had in the present perfect when the main verb is also “have”: I’m not feeling well. I have had a headache all day. She has had three children in the past five years.

Was working or had been working?

He was workingis the past continues tense and is used when something occurs during the course of something else happening. Example: He was working when the accident occurred. He had been working is the past perfect continuous tense and is used when something happens in the past before some other event in time.

Has had been meaning?

the other verb – had/been – is past participle, which means it needs another word to function). When you use “I had had..” it’s still about a past possession, but a possession you had before something else happened in the past. This is past perfect, which signals to the reader “this happened *earlier*”.
