Have you had had had fun? (Part 1)




Have you had had had fun? (Part 1)
Sairam asked Senthil, “Can we use had had continuously in a sentence sir?”
Senthil, “Why not? It is possible. For an example listen to this sentence – I had had my lunch” said.
“So had had is possible.”
While this had had was going on some other teachers entered the classroom. The discussion started, “Only one had.”
“No man had had.”
“Had can’t give the correct sense?”
“Had had only gives the correct meaning because that is past perfect tense.”
“So, according to you, instead of had had had should be used?”
“Are you saying had had had had more effect than had had had?”
Senthil said, “No dear has. Had had has had more effect than had has had. It had not any effect but that is meaningful.”
In this way had had had had good discussion. While had had had the starting of conversation had had had had got the full score. Had or had had both had had the complete effect on the teachers.

Senthil had had had had example in this way:
There are two heroes, Singham Surya and Chiruthi Karthi, who are required by an English test to describe a man who, in the past, had suffered from a cold. Singham Surya writes “The man had a cold” which the teacher marks as being incorrect; while Chiruthai Karthi writes the correct sentence, “the man had had a cold.” Since Chiruthi Karthi’s answer was right, it had had a better effect on the teacher.
The sentence can be understood more clearly by adding punctuation and emphasis:
Chiruthai Karthi, while Singham Surya had had “had”, had had “had had”; “had had” had had a better effect on the teacher.
