Grammar
as it is/have-had?
hello,
I can't understand the use of as it is in this sentence
1.As it is I have been forced into becoming a sort of pamphleteer
q:in this sentence , what is the meaning of as it ?
how can i translate this?
2.This increased my natural hatred of authority and made me for the first time fully aware of the existence of the working classes, and the job in Burma had given me some understanding of the nature of imperialism: but these experiences were not enough to give me an accurate political orientation. Then came Hitler, the Spanish Civil War, etc. By the end of 1935 I had still failed to reach a firm decision.
q:in this sentence, all the grammar parts are consist of past use but
as you can see, the word had(used twice) is confusing me.
why had not have?
help me please ..
