I looked up the word "incidental (n.)" in Longman Dictionary incidental - Definition from Longman English Dictionary Online
and found the following explanation:
incidental [countable usually plural]
something that you have to do, buy etc which you had not planned to:
Carry extra cash for taxis, tips and other incidentals.
Here's my question: "Why is the past perfect tense used in this situation while the simple present tense (have to do) is used in the first part of the phrase?"
Thank you very much.
By the way, are there any errors (grammar, article, punctuation, etc.) in my post?
