A verb is the action or state of being in a sentence. Verbs can be expressed in different tenses, depending on when the action is being performed. Here are some examples: Example: Jennifer walked to the store. In this sentence, walked is the verb that shows an action.
The 10 types of verbs defined here show some of their more common functions.
There are four TYPES of verbs: intransitive, transitive, linking, and passive.
transitive verb
To consume (something solid or semi-solid, usually food) by putting it into the mouth and swallowing it.
As you can see from that definition, there are two main categories of verbs: action verbs and state of being verbs (also known as linking verbs). Because action verbs and linking verbs are strong enough to be used in sentences all by themselves, they are called main verbs.
We use have had in the present perfect when the main verb is also “have”: I’m not feeling well. I have had a headache all day. She has had three children in the past five years.
Study the following sentences.
Had had is the past perfect form of have when it is used as a main verb to describe our experiences and actions. We use the past perfect when we are talking about the past and want to refer back to an earlier past time, Madiini.
Here are some more examples of when to use “had” in a sentence:
‘I had had my breakfast. ‘ – past perfect tense as in ‘I had eaten my breakfast. ‘ Here, the fist part of the verb phrases have/has and had are auxiliary and the second part had is the past participle form of the main verb have.
‘Has’ is the third person singular present tense of ‘have’ while ‘had’ is the third person singular past tense and past participle of ‘have. ‘ Both are transitive verbs, but ‘has’ is used in sentences that talk about the present while ‘had’ is used in sentences that talk about the past.
Past tense (had done) because you are talking in the past tense (I didn’t say thanks…) Has done may be used colloquially, but had done is the correct answer.
Present perfect tense is used, because the actions related to your application (review and decision) are in the present time frame. Past perfect would be correct if those actions were completed: I had submitted the application, but the position was already filled. “I have” is correct.
They’re both compound, and they often imply connection between an event and a point of reference. When you say “have just” it implies that the event in reference affects the present state. “Had just” works in much the same way, but because the past is somewhat broad, it can cover a large, more convoluted period.
“Just now” describes a period of time that began in the past and ended in the past. So you musty use the past simple. It does mean “a moment ago”, but the rules still apply. It is not true that “just now” must always accompany a verb in the past tense, as it does in your example.
“Have started” is correct. “Had started” is in the pluperfect tense, which means the verb “to start” has past time and completed aspect. You will be continuing, so your action is not past. “Have started” is in the perfect tense, with present time and completed aspect.
I have just finished my homework. Having said that, In American English it’s acceptable to use” just” with simple past as well as with present perfect to express that something recently happened. I just finished my homework.
‘I have finished’ is present perfect tense. It describes your condition at any point in time after finishing. ‘I finish’ is present simple tense – describing your intended activity some time before finishing.
1) After a work is done, for example after a class is finished. Something like “call it a day”. 2) While you see someone doing a hard work, it is a kind of showing respect to his perseverance. In this situation, the answer is “Thank you!”.
@SanaeR I just finished my work means you finished it for a while now but when you said I’ve just finished my work mean just a moment age you finished it maybe you’re still at work too. exp: I just finished my home work (now playing )
Had just is the past in which the thing did not happen recently. For example, he had to go to the store yesterday or he had a mid term today.
3. Hi Renas, ‘ I have eaten’ is a Present Perfect tense, linking the past with the present. It is an action that happened in the past, but gives no time frame, for example: ‘ I have eaten Octopus’. ‘I ate’ is a Past Simple tense – it is an action that happened in the past.
