Hi
Was hoping someone could help.
We have a reading comprehension exercise, in which the particular passage in question is written in the past perfect.
The students then have to do a question answer exercise.
I was wondering if you can use the past perfect when asking questions?
My co-worker has written the following question and answer:
Q:Why had Edwin Leeford had to leave for Italy?
A: Edwin Leeford had had to leave for Italy......
This seems a little strange to me but I am not sure if it is just because I have not seen questions like this before or because it isn't normally used. I can not seem to find anything about question writing in any of the books!!!
I want to change the question to:
Why did Edwin Leeford have to leave for Italy?
Does anyone have any knowledge in this area?
Any help is very much appreciated.
