It is difficult to be sure what you don't understand, because you have made several errors. It should read:
"I have had a bad cold for the last two days. We have had the first round. (I don't know what you mean here by 'round', but I will accept the statement.) Bihabha has received his postgraduate degree in India.
Please let me know which tense is this. What does the combination of "Has/have + had" suggest? Please illustrate fully with some examples."
'Had' here (like 'received') is the past participle of the verb 'have', and it performs just like any other past participle with 'have/has/had' to form the present perfect and past perfect verb aspects:
Have/has/had gone Have/has/had received Have/has/had had.
There is also future perfect: 'will have gone/received/had'. The uses of the perfect aspects are too broad to examine here, but you can start by reading HERE and HERE. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
