AnonymousI havent hve time is wrong we cnt use two helping verb in oneBut the second "have" is not a helping verb. It is the main verb. Since the first "have" is the helping verb, it has to be followed by the past participle of the main verb. So the correct combination is "have + had."
Anonymous Actually I liked your answer, the first thing I thought was exactly your answer. Second Have is the main verb, the tense is past perfect so you use have as an auxilliary and had as the main verb in past participle.The tense is present perfect, not past perfect. Past perfect is "had had." eg.
