Had

Hi,

The above sounds like you already know.

If you know, why are you asking?



(Did you) have

Hi Clive,

So should it be: Have a late night last night?

I don't know that's why I'm asking. I'm unsure if it's okay or not...

Hi,

So should it be: Have a late night last night? Yes.

Had a late night last night?-- I beg to disagree. This can be considered a simple, if casual, inquiry, just as can 'Have a late night last night?' Their intents are precisely the same; the verb tenses reflect only the speaker's perceived vantage point.

Pardon me. I was inattentive. The two forms are shortened forms of these:

Had a late night last night? = You had a late night last night?

Have a late night last night? = Did you have a late night last night?

They are different forms of the same question. The first form is gaining immense popularity in AmE at least: Want another drink? Seen the movie

"Got milk?"

Hi,



You could also not worry about a verb at all, and just say 'Late night last night?'
