Hey, people!
So I have a problem distinguishing what is right in the following case:
1.Something happened at that warehouse. (for a past thing that is done)
2.Something has happened at that warehouse(for something in the past that has consequences into the present)
-- Should I use the second one like that or does it have to be something like 'Something has happened in that warehouse because he is not the same anymore.'
So I guess my question is, if I don`t specify what are the consequences of theactions in the past or if there aren`t any consequences, I then should use the first example?
---------------------------------
And another question.
Is it right to say- Something has happened in that warehouse 20 years ago. or Something had happened in that warehouse 20 years ago. If I use had, do I have to specify that the event took place before another event or can I leave it in this form? Something had happened in that warehouse 20 years ago
