 Re: past tense of have
Hi there,
I did not pretend to express sth in the past perfect tense. I just wanted to do it in past simple. It's just that the verb to have doesn't need the auxiliary do for the negative and interrogative forms in the present simple.
Someone told me that in British English the verb to have doesn't need the auxiliary did for the negative and interrogative forms in the past tense either, so that you could say "Had you a dog?" instead of "Did you have a dog?"
