Discuss your grammar & vocabulary here
(I wish admin or mod will stick this thread)
For those who want to ask about grammar & vocabulary, just post it here and let us discussed it together. Any kind of question, especially from your English class (in case you're still in High School or college) Eventhough I speak English everyday, I wonder about the usage of "has/have been", "had been" and "was". They have similar purpose to refer the finished thing in the past. What the difference ? Sometimes it confuse me. lets begin |

Exp. He has finished his work "have" past perfect with subject : "I", "You", "We", "They" Exp. They have gone at 6 am this morning "was" is used for single subject (actually almost similar with has), but the subject for this word : "I", "she", "he", "it" (we can say as singular subject). This word can be used for passive activities for the subject Exp. She was sick (not active verb) Exp. The laptop was repaired by my brother (passive activities for the subject) => or in opposite sentences My brother repaired the laptop You also can use "was" for explaining any activities still happen in the past Exp. My brother was playing football when i arrived at the stadium "were" similar condition with "was" but for plural subject (we, they, members, etc) Exp. These experiments were assisted by the technician (passive activities for the subject) or in opposite sentences, the technician assisted these experiments That's all my explanation, it is little bit difficult to explain about "had" eventough the usage almost similar with has/have (past perfect) |
