Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Had"

A: Yes, it makes sense, but it doesn't sound natural. You can say:

A: Depends on the context.

1. Something is not good

"You'd better get out of here right now."

第二个had to do，一定，非要，非得是

A: I had had that painting for years but someone stole it

A: The difference is because of the "won't have to go" part. You could say "hadn't failed" or "wouldn't failed", they are both correct. BUT: "Won't have to go" means the FUTURE, while "didn't" is PAST. So, answer C is incorrect because the time of both parts does not match up.

A: All the modal verbs can be inverted.
Commonly inverted:
Can, Could
Shall, Should
Will, Would

Now a little old-fashioned:
Ought
Must
Need
May, Might

A: Generally, ‘Had been’ is past tense, while ‘have been’ is ongoing.
“She had been working at the company for three years, before it went out of business.”
“I have been working at this company for three years, but i’m worried it will soon go out of business.”

A: Had been
or
Had happened

but not both.

Those are both examples of the Past Perfect tense. You can have the Past Perfect Continuous but that looks like this:

had been happening

A: @haha860036: The meaning of the second sentence is more clear.

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: Have you been there = has estado ahí

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: This is fine but it's rather formal. I would say "If I'd known he was a criminal, I wouldn't have made friends with him."

A: If it were not for my friends, I would not meet anybody.

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: “Should we wait here until he comes?”
Or
“We better wait here until he comes.”

Both of those sentences would sound more natural. If you are asking someone if you should wait, the first sentence would work. If you’re telling someone you should wait, the second would work better. Hope that helps!

A: Have you been there?
