Stephen, having been trained

[waverider]

In there any mistake in this original sentence that I have written:

- Stephen, having been trained by the national coach for a year, is ready to face his opponents.

I'm learning how to use different tenses etc.

I think my sentence sounds okay but I'm not sure about using "having been trained".

a) "having been trained" - is this a gerund passive? Is there such a thing?

b) Is it grammatically correct to write the sentence like this?

Yes, it's good.

 

[waverider]

Yes, it's good.

I would appreciate if you could help me understand why my use of "having been" + "trained" is correct. It sounds right to me, but I don't understand why.

I don't understand what you're asking. Please be more specific about what you want to know.

If you're asking what to call it, I suggest you use 'participle phrase'. This one carries a perfect aspect.

Well, most native speakers could say the same thing.
