Re: What kind if tense is had had or 'd had
Past Perfect
HAD + PAST PARTICIPLE
It just happens that the past participle of have is had, hence He had had two houses
The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.
I hope it helps
