| I wish to know also when to use has been, have been, or had been in a sentence? What are their differences from has + (past participle of the verb), have + (past participle of the verb), had + (past participle of the verb) in the usage in a sentence? Your help here is greatly appreciated. |

| Your question is a challenging one, but also fiendishly difficult to answer in just a few words. I suggest you give us some examples you seem to be having trouble with. |

e.g. He/She/It has been to Europe three times. I/You/We/They have been to Europe three times. More about present perfect: ENGLISH PAGE - Present Perfect Had been is part of the past perfect tense. Had + past participle doesn’t change. It’s the same for all persons. e.g. When I arrived, they had had dinner. More about past perfect: ENGLISH PAGE - Past Perfect Hope that helps. |
