Grammar
I hid you here or I had you hidden here
Hello teachers,
Could someone please explain to me what's the difference between these two expressions? I would really appreciate it.
The complete sentence is:
All that time I had you hidden here, you never told me I'm a good cook.
Thanks so much in advance!

I don't see a lot of difference, but what's the context? Did the person hide this other person from someone else?

I had you hidden here is like I kept you hidden here, so it emphasizes that it was a long time that you were hidden more than simply saying I hid you here. Other than that, there isn't much difference.
