(Ron raises his hand and waves it wildly about.) Teacher, I know that one. That is complete. "I have eaten" needs nothing to complete it, because it denotes a finished action. (It's present perfect.) However, "I had eaten" awaits something to give it completion, perhaps only one additional word, thus: "I had eaten already."

How did I do?

:D
You're a very good student, RonBee. :D

Now let's test your answer:

I have lived here for six years.

What completes 'I have lived'?

:D
