Have Been, Has Been, and Had been

Saya akan mencoba membahas bagaimana kata tersebut digunakan menggunakan grammar yang benar.

I, you, we, they (or another plural nouns)- have been
Example:
1. I have been .....
2. They have been .....
3. The dogs have been .......
4. The children have been ........

He, She, it (or another singular nouns) - has been
example
1. He has been....
2. She has been.....
3. The cat has been.....

Kejadian di masa lampau : Semua subjek - had been

1st use - paling mudah

Digunakan pada pengalaman travelling (atau berlibur)
1. Have/has been
example:
    1. We have been to Jakarta many times.
    2. I have been to Malaysia 3 times .
    3. Have you been to Singapore?
    4. Yes, I have been to Singapore.

Notes: Tidak boleh memberikan keterangan waktu yang specifik
contoh:
I have been to Singapore last year. ----xxxxxx (ini salah)

2. Had been
Digunakan ketika membicarakan tentang 2 kejadian yang berada di masa lalu
Example:
When I visited Thailand last year, I had never been to Vietnam before

2nd use

1. Have/has been

Kejadian atau situasi yang dimulai pada masa lalu dan masih terjadi sampai saat ini

Example

    1. I have been studying spanish for 3 years.

    2. I have been studying spanish since 2017.

    3. Anto have been watching TV since midday.

    4. She has been a janitor for 3 months.

    5. She has been a janitor since April.

2. Had been

Example:

   1. I had been studying Spanish for 3 years when I left the school.

When I left in the school- terjadi pada masa sekarang.

 (Ini berarti saya telah selesai belajar bahasa spanyol ketika saya meninggalkan sekolah)

   2. Angga had been watching TV for 4 hours, when he stopped to do some homework.

   3. We had been together for 2 yeatrs, when we break up.

note: Hanya gunakan had been ketika ada dua kejadian pada masa lalu; satu kejadian continous seperti kalimat diatas ( I left the school) dan satu kejadian yang sudah selesai ( I had been studying spanish for 3 years)

3rd use

Kita gunakan dalam kalimat passive

1. Have/has been

Example:

1. Your offer has been accepted. -passive

    The seller has accepted your offer. - active

2. Your parcels have been delivered to your neighbour- passive

     We have delivered your parcels to your neighbour. - active

3. Mistakes have been made - passive

    I have made a mistakes - active

2. Had been

Kita gunakan ini ketika ada 2 kejadian yang terjadi di masa lalu

Example

Note: Kejadian pertama yang terjadi ditandai dengan had been

          Kejadian kedua menggunakan simple past tense
