<p>i always keep getting confused on have/had. how can i get rid of this problem.</p>
<p>had mean something that happend in the past pefect ; meaning the past of the past</p>
<p>we debated the results ;we had discovered in the surveylast week</p>
<p>In the past we debated a results that we get in the past of this past </p>
<p>Have been participating… meaning we began to do that in the past and we continue to do so to the present</p>
<p>She have been always nice to me
She was nice to you in the past , and as it seems she will continue to do so .
so it is start in the past ->>>>>>> and go to the present</p>
<p>First-time drivers had/have been found to make more careless mistakes than those with more experience.</p>
