To me, “They were/had married…” construction is better, if we are not defining what happened later especially in terms of the period (as in your example) In fact, I have seen this commonly used when we talk about their tenure they were married for. Say..

There were married for five years
The woman maintained that they had married in Damascus (a fact denied by the man)

As you ask that how should you try, I think in this way , it’s clearer…

They got married on , and got divorced after five years.

And yes, married is both a verb and an adjective. How do I use a calculator, depending on how often you use it?

He married a German couple
(adjective usage).. (verbal usage)

What does it say to give up blogging?

Nor A) nor B) can be correct. P.S.: Taken divorce is an improperly formed past perfect. (Some believe it is an illusion.) I don’t know whether they say divorce in AmE or in BrE! Lastly, its customary to spell out numerals up through nine (and in Chicago style, up through ninety-nine).

Why? A) I liked “those who got married on 1 April 2006 and got divorcated on 1

• April 2007″. The word “got divorced” is always better.

Between this dates they married

• on 1st April 2006 and divorced 5 years later. This could be shortened to:

Example B make sense if the frame of reference is in the past, and both the marriage and divorce were farther in the past. My friend

• told me that she introduced me to her in 2016. I met her in 2013 and her story evolved later. It was a decade ago that the couple got divorced by accident. They got married in 2006 and then separated. What happened afterwards?

What do you think of the move to reform immigration laws?

As of April

  2014, they were married and divorced. Three years later they divorced. What were their consequences?  

The difference between had married and were married, is that with “were”, we are saying they became married – that is, the acquired the adjective of “married” – they went from being not married, to being married.

Is there any construction to “they had X” that requires an object? So, you could say “They had married their partner” or “They gotten married” (in which case “gotten” is the verb, and “married” is the object). But “they had married” is not a complete sentence. Usually.

Brian Hitchcock explains in another answer what is wrong with the sentence, and makes the point that “They had married, they had married” can be correct, depending on context – firstly, in that the object can be implied rather than stated, in which case you are saying they had married two (each other) in 2006.

Do there have been any differences between parsing a sentence and removing the quotation marks? I’ve been thinking of it as being in the past progressive tense but you can also read it in the past perfect tense, in which case “married” changes from being something they did to something they have done In that case, had married would be actually correct, but it would be completely incorrect. Getting married is a more common usage though as, colloquially, marriage is usually spoken of in the past progressive – at least it is in my experience as an English speaker living in Britain.

Tahiti:

“Little is more than one person is correct, depending on context.” (Little is more than one.) Both are correct, depending on context. A sounds great like a native speaker.

Q2) Both, again depending on context. Usually it’s a verb, sometimes it’s an adjective, very rarely it can be an adverb. In your world, treat it as a verb.

(Answers are for Standard American English, as used & understood by me.)

Q2 – Easy one. ”Quick thing’’ How is the word “Married” used both a verb and an adjective. As Maulik

V said, “They got married. What does that mean for a married couple? ”

Q1 – not quite so easy. ” The first phase of both sentences is correct and commonly used. If they

were married on April 1, 2014 they’d been happily together ever since, and had other

plans for the future.” “Had”

tends to imply something that happened in the past that is over and done with: “They

had married on April 1, 2014, but they got an annulment later that same day. However,

there is plenty of ambiguity either way.

After five years of marriage, a couple that was married on April 1, 2014, has become married again to the same

person. But they can’t get divorced after that. They have been happily apart from each other ever since. I

assume the OP is writing science fiction or making a prediction. How can a husband and wife have an 11-and-a-half months of marriage and each

have an 11-and-a-half-month, or are they in a situation similar to a five-year-old and are happy? u00bb Yes, getting married is a single distinct act that is undertaken and then

is finished (unlike, for example, buying chocolate ice cream), and then will always be in the past. Part

2 – Most people say a couple “were divorced” or “got divorced” but they still are divorced. The

two of them divorced in the next 26 years. ” “They were married, then they were divorced. ” When the kids came home from marital sex to divorce, the couple became divorced. So that they were not married or married at all. I

hope that this

helps.

Can someone get marriage or divorce? How can you divorce a person without getting or planning to get married?

There is a wedding ceremony at which you can take a person in your own hand in the hand. Why is taking marriage (few or no) better than taking everything you found to be true.

The divorce is legal and is a court process. Many people seek divorce immediately.

Why is the verb “married” active in the verb prepositions? If I marry someone, I’m the subject of the verb. I am married, I’m the subject, and the subject is either the officiant or just missing from the sentence entirely.

If you are discussing whether a person is a bigamist or not, “were married” could refer to a single point in time. In the Bible, John James married Susan and the relationship lasted in the family for five years. In the last book, John spoke about how Susan was unfaithful. But on April 1st 2014, when he married Jane, John and Susan were still married which makes him a bigamist” (news article by John Roth).

Is it correct to use a sentence like “John and Susan were married by their bishop”? Is it true: John and Susan “married in their local church”, meaning only “the point in time during their wedding”?
