When Past tense and Past participle adjective in a sentence. How do you describe past tense and past participle adjective when in a sentence.
I’ve learnt that Past Perfect Tense is used when an action happened before another action in the past. I mean I’ve watched both tenses. Before I registered for Advanced I had taken the introdduced / advanced class. Doing this makes it difficult for me to start from the beginner level of this course? I’ve also learned that past participle verb can be used as an adjective to describe the verb. For example, challenge accepted.
What happened when talking about a photo that was taken by others? I have been told that “I had recently taken it taken. I don’thing.” Now I’m wondering the sentence. If it is a past tense (had) and the past participle adjective (taken) in a sentence or the past perfect tense (had taken) in the sentence.
“Feel free” to edit my post and sorry for my poor English.
I had it taken recently is definitely NOT in the past perfect!
What is it like taking it recently?
I had it taken recently = You asked someone to do it for you. you took a photo with her hand smudging a camera. got up and gave it away with them, she slid down in his lap and shot the camera on the right side.
Both sentences are in the simple past.)
BACKGROUND
The name “past participle” is a rather unfortunate one. Why does there are tons of confusion in the English grammar? Why is the passive voice similar to the English voice perfect? I mean the verb and passive voice are not different, but they use the same verb. , an active participle of a verb. (The past participle form of a verb).
Why I used a grammar book in writing this answer? To demonstrate this point with the same examples, I’ll discuss them, briefly, below:
Past participles are used both to make passive verb form form (the passive verb forms are not the active perfect tenses) in english. He said. (1) He was calling. (active-passive) (2) He was
called. (passive – simple past)
(3) He has called. He has said. In (2), called a
participle form of call on BE in its past form, was and was. A main verb in its past participle form after BE indicates that the clause is in the passive voice. In this example, someone called me, and I was called because I wasn’t listening; but I was listening.
In (3), called, again the past participle form of call is used after the auxiliary verb HAVE, in its singular-present form, has. An main verb that is in its past participle form after the clause indicates that the clause is in a perfect tense, in this case the present prefect. How does Jack tell me the lieutenant he will call in the morning with regards to today’s incident.” Has the Lord called? Has Jack called, as I’m saying he does.” ”
BACK TO OUR QUESTION (BARE PASSIVES), e.g.. Does the confusion caused by
your sentence, I had it taken recently, is perfectly understandable, because in this sentence, had is the main verb but not an auxiliary verb. This is a special use of have, as defined in the Macmillan Dictionary in definition 14 like this: have
to arrange for something to be done or for someone to do something have
done. The place is looking much better since they had it redecorated.
She wanted to have her own profile painted. She has gotten an invitation from an artist who has their own website.
what would they do with my luggage?
So I had it taken already means that you asked someone to take the photo and the photo had already taken.
One way to explain the syntax of have something done is to treat it as a bare passive that complements the main verb (typical verbs that allow bare passive complements are have, get, order, and other sense verbs such as see ).
