@LurkingLee Hi, uncle aqil How have you been? The reason for why I am bothering you is that I wanted to ask if the course that I had found a few days ago is good or not? Why you removed "had" and "have"?

Yes I know. Technically you can use them, but someone thats fluent in English would not. They are unnecessary. They are not wrong. Just not needed.
