Registered vs Was registered vs Had registered

[TKChow]

Hi.

Hope this email finds you well.

1. I would like to ask if there is a difference in the meaning between
(a) registered - eg. He successfully registered with the club in 2019.
(b) was registered - eg. He was successfully registered with the club in 2019.
(c) had registered - eg. He had successfully registered with the club in 2019.
(d) had been registered - eg. He had been successfully registered with the club in 2019.

2. Which of those would be best to express a once-off registration that took place in the past and that registration still remains valid.

Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

a) is the best sentence to express a one-off registration, if he registered himself.
b) works if someone else registered him.
c) works only if there's a reason for the past perfect.
d) doesn't work.

None of them indicate that the registration is still valid. To do that, you would need something like "He has been registered with the club since 2019".
