1)have u not known
2)didnt u know.....well here i usually say the 2nd one but if the first one shud be right then i think it s probably used in british english cuz its sounds well really british lol umm and yeh , ive gotta problem with HAD AND HAVE as well....not a basic problem with it but still i find sum situtations occasionaly though this time that im not able to figure wich one to say, i cant think of an example again cuz like i said i just kno i get stuck but really dont remember wen i "HAVE/HAD"" lol i got one example i guess up there
