Sir
3 or 4 years ago I came across tenses, active-passive, direct-indirect prepositions etc. Now I feel comfortable with speaking in english though not much fluently and extemporaneously.
But my problem is this: Suppose I said a sentence "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting" Now I can't figure out that according to which rule have I used these words(have kept). I used them perhaps because I felt like using them and for no other reason.
Further, I've noticed many times that I fail to explain as to which rule governs the use of particular forms of expressions; I fail to reason though I have myself used them
