What kind of misunderstanding? Nouns do not show tense; verbs do.

There is/was/will be/has been/etc a handover.

We are handing over/will hand over/ have handed over/etc the goods.

He said, "Handover is a noun and thus cannot be used in any tense". Now you express the sentence, "There has been a handover." It's a past tense sentence in which "handover" is used.

I see what you two mean, but I think that sentence (the Cool's), can probably lead to some confusion for a beginner.

“Thank you sir. I had a mistake yesterday as I used hand overed.”

Handover is indeed used in the sentence but it isn't in any tense. To be is in the present perfect (has been) in the sentence. Nothing is in past tense in the sentence.

1- I said "...(the Cool's), can probably lead to some confusion for a beginner." not for the OP. I think Cool is able to read and understand the word "beginner". By that I meant any beginner not the OP.
