@Jey_M “i could have answered” is correct, “i could had answer” is incorrect
- Italian
- English (US)
@Jey_M because you’re talking about the past. “answer” is present tense. it’s kind of hard to explain but “could had answer” makes no sense
- English (US)
I could have answered is correct
I could had answer is incorrect. It’s not possible to put these verbs together this way.
