    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 ).

  • My first few choices are – the defeated, the vanquished.

    As a one word noun – a loser, an underachiever, and an underachiever.

    A few more compound words (they have their own entries in dictionaries) are – a lost cause and a lame duck.

    To

    determine the ending point of a context, we can select the parent node if it encloses the results section, otherwise we should specify another anchor which identifies the ending point of the context or have a common ancestor with the first anchor which encloses the sections.

    Version:

    To mark the target node we select a node that encloses the text. Revised: In some cases, we have to specify the end of the text explicitly by selecting another node which is a child or a descendant of the first node.

    Most English or French translations have similar lengths, but the number of words (such as “/”) is one which is easier to read when in reference to the original. This doesn’t mean that you should revise your software like this. About technical writing: Being short or long, is not as important as clarity.

    Is hypnotic usually related to sleeping? What does hypnotic experience 1a mean?

    So, something the author found that it was “hypnotically disturbing” would be something which was very disturbing (Juniper’s story about the discarded flotsam now bobbing in the oceans according to your quote). It was disturbing enough that he (or she) couldn’t focus on anything else. In other words, it was something really, really disturbing, and but she couldn’t ignore it.

    When I have got to hear bad news I never know whether I made it well or not.

    I never know

    • I never know = the main clause
    • whether I have done it well or not = the main idea
    • when(ever) I have had to break bad news = the condition

    (Perhaps many will feel more comfortable with the para above).


    The context suggests that this is not a one-time thing (because of the patients in the next sentence). What is this (when) meaning in English?

    I believe that the use of the perfect aspect is more appropriate is because it’s his reflection upon the past events when (read “after”) each instance of such events has happened and projects his thought into the future with little compared to the perfect aspect that came to him. In such cases, it’s unlikely it’s going to change in the foreseen future.) This kind of sentence,


    though not very common, is not too rare to find on the web. I know

    that whenever another person has chosen to know me and be with me only for my sake, I have tasted the future; I have tasted the reality of resurrection.

    First of all, I would like to recommend reading a post by Grammar Girl, The Write Practice and Wikipedia.

    I’ve seen many styles of ellipsis usage. The more technically correct term is points of an ellipsis (selected points) where ellipsis is omitted where punctuation marks are not.

    Most styles seem to agree that we should that Unicode character U+2026 for a point of ellipsis in documents. When we type on the web, we usually type the dot character (some will call it a period). .. Some styles suggest typing dots with space in between, like this “… I don’t like those spaces at all, I just type my text like this one “.” What is the exact meaning behind three dots on a punctuation mark?

    I’ve checked and found that this point of the punctuation mark has elliptical value, and all other styles seem to agree. Treat this points as if it was words, whatever words we left out, that is.

    A second usage is to use the points of ellipsis for a slight pause in speech, which becomes widely used on the Web, e.g.

    I want to tell you something…

    But you know what I am thinking… Well,

    never mind that… Let’s

    go there… I

    will buy you a drink which,

    to some people, can be rather annoying. “Like A Boy”?

    We want to use punctuation marks at the end of

    a sentence. We need them. Increasing the punctuation marks in a sentence can make a sentence longer. I sincerely hope you learn from some style guides and don’t go overboard on this one. While I if usual see respectable books use this, Firstly…

    and later. Which is first:… Or is it a new form of exercise? Are there other studies of social welfare and the politics of life?

    What is it that they say in three sentences?

    Are there spaces inside ellipse marks or are they used in an ellipse mark? If we don’t put spaces inside it would become: Firstly, Secondly,… Thirdly, According to the

    mentioned Wikipedia page, One Style says, There are two

    commonly used methods of using ellipses: one uses three dots for any omission, while the second one makes a distinction between omissions within a sentence (using three dots:….. and.. which are both obvious and so require explanation) What are the omissions between sentences (using a period and space followed by three dots)? An elliptical at the end of a sentence should precede a period. For a total of four dots.

    How did these dots occupy my life?

    … We are lucky to be alive. How

    will I

    get back to my questions?

    The latest research says that the number of mobile internet users will increase by three times in 2015. Reading more? (Note the three dots after the word more..)

    This latest research says that the number of mobile Internet users will increase by three times in 2015. How do I read more than a word?

    But this case, “Read more…” sounds odd since there is no sentence after it. When are Ellipsis used correctly?

    2) Under what circumstances can we put more than one dot? How do I spell “”) within a sentence?

    Under which circumstances can you put more than one dot (‘. What are the basic words (‘) at the end of a sentence?

    3) Is there any rule that talks about the number of dots to be put?

    My question was answered in the beginning. What is an ellipsis and how does it work: they are two dots for four points and have an ellipsis between them. And the first point is the point where the point is at ellipsis, if any is using in terms of algebraic formulas, if yes, then we only use the field of three dots for four points and two dots for two points. Who has put this point in the speech and written text? Why? You can find general rules in some references I mentioned, and for the exact rules you should consult your manual of style, and for specific rules you are required to follow by specific documents, the rules are included in any manual.

    Hope this helps.

    Although “up until” was explained in other answers already, I would like to discuss “up till” a little, along with its function (part of speech).

    Similarly to “all the way up until”, if you’ve been reading the words, you need to regroup the words in “all the way”

    and “up until” like this: Peter was the best age the 5th grade and I can see why.”

    What would be the meaning of the sentence if you could ban all the way to the end and/or replace “up until” with “until”?

    Peter was the smartest and only child till fifth grade.
    Peter was the smartest kid until the fifth grade. He is still battling depression.
    Peter was the smartest kid in the entire universe, until the fifth grade!

    What does that word “up until” mean? In Macmillan Dictionary, the terms “up” and “until” are used. Why is “up until” followed by “the fifth grade” is mentioned as a preposition in your sentence?

    Up until uses a preposition (followed by a noun): it

    continues
    to get
    a salary (in a Macmillan Dictionary with 40 entries) until. Here we have all the definitions of up until in Macmillan Dictionary: together even with nouns (in other translations).
    I stayed there until he landed. I’ll call the first clause the “convention” in my hand. I will say he needs to get his “link” back.
    What is it like to be one of the lucky few? on the subject, and then stopping Baker is expected to be here till
    the end of the week.
    How was my career and work until 1999 in a manufacturing company?
    If you wait for them to call you up, you’ll just have to get them to hear your name.
    Up until now, everything in Katherine’s life has been taken care of for her.

    Up
    adjective, adverb, preposition

    PHRASES

    up to/until something
    used to give the latest time that something can happen, or the end of a period of time.
    Laura sat here till about.15 minutes ago.
    What room had been used as a hospital in the 1960’s then was declared a hospital in 1972?
