001.)It is very true that, 01b00having recovered02b00 such revolted provinces, it is easier to keep them in subjection.02br
02br
00-> This seems to be a Present Prefect tense, however I can't find this kind of Present Perfect tense in any grammar book *having + P.P.* ??02br
00 ->I guess it would be gerund, if so what would be the gerund form of Past Perfect tense then??02br
00->If it is gerund, then why we don't just put it as "It is very true that, 01b00recovering02b00 such revolted provinces............"02br
02br
002.)When 01b00being asked02b00 how he felt after arrived in Beijing, he replies, ".............."02br
02br
00->I guess this is Passive Voice in Present or Past tense. But not sure, if it is , does it mean the Passive Voice in Present or Past tense sharing the same formation??02h2

0Hi! Let me try with the first you're asking: "having recovered" is a perfect gerund; I guess it's not only "recovering" because who wrote this wanted to say something in the past.02br
