Has had
Hi Everyone. I want to ask two questions.
1.) When do you use has had, have had and had had?
2.) Im really having trouble with the verb tenses especially when I write about the past. For example:
Are the following constructions correct?
1.) He also solemnly declared that he doesn’t want to be a priest, because priests have dark skin. Our Parish priest, by the way, is an Indian national.
2.) When he was 4, he challenged me to a race, and although I outran him as all of you would expect, after 4 laps, about 75 meters each lap, he was still full of energy and I had given up.
They are about my nieces and nephews about 4 - 8 years of age, so no offense regarding the "color" thing.
