Flood in / at

They are all good (use in in sentence c).

(a) should be: They had a flood in the village.

or

There was a flood in the village.

(b) is correct, except remember the spelling of flooded

(c) is correct if you use "in."

(d) any of these would be correct, but probably the most common way to state it would be with one of the first two phrases. I, person

Thanks, normally, we say :

There is / are ...

When do we use "There had ..."? Could you tell me the situation and about the usage, thanks!

Anyone can solve my quiestions? Many thanks !!!

The only situation I can think of where one might use "There had," would be in a sentence such as "There had been a storm." I don't know of any other type of usage for that particular word combination.

What differences between "there had " and "there was"? I'm confused to use it.

"Had" is the past tense of the verb "to have"- so it is somewhat more of an active verb than "to be" which is the verb for which "was" is the past tense. I think it is just one of those quirks of the English language that "had" is simply not used in that way. I don't know of a rule that really states it; it simply isn't in usage.

I'm sorry I can't give a better answer than that.
