Hope it helps

Hi Danny,

Is the given sentence not yet completed or completed already.

- He had gone there.

Is this correct? If so, what is the difference of using 'had' and 'has' in this sentence? Also, I sometimes read 'has had' and 'had had', what are these, please help. I really have a hard time understanding these.

Thanks in advance.
