A note on have/had:
The verb “have/had” can be used alone:
I have 2 dogs.
I had a wonderful time at the concert.
Have/had is also used to form the past participle. We can use both of
these together (although it sounds a little awkward):
I have had a bad meal here before.
I had had a bad meal here before we decided to eat
somewhere else.
I’d had a bad meal here before we decided to eat somewhere else.
