Had happened
.
Hello...
In the passage below, “had happened” is used, not “have happened”.
It's difficult to understand why.
I hope to be enlightened.
*********
If you read the papers, you know that this not the first time this had happened. In
the eight weeks since the President named his nominee, Judge Mendoza has, on various
occasions, publicly criticized the American Bar Association, the AFL-CIO, and the New
York state legislature.
