Present or past perfect

How did you download the game if it hasn't/hadn't come out yet? Can both be correct here?

  

Top answer

"Hasn't" is correct. The present perfect is used in present time, and the speaker is talking in present time. "Hadn't," the past perfect, would be used in a situation in past time, and can't be used here.

  • "Hasn't" is correct.
  • The present perfect is used in present time, and the speaker is talking in present time.
  • "Hadn't," the past perfect, would be used in a situation in past time, and can't be used here.
