is it ever appropriate to write you'd had in a sentence?

You’d is the contraction for both “you would” and “you had.”  I can't think of a sentence with "you had had" but if you can think of one, then you could properly use "you'd had" in its place.  If you used "you would had" then you would need a "have" in there, I think, so it would be "you'd have had" as in, "You'd have had a chance in the race, but you pulled your hamstring."




"You had had" is plusquamperfectum, "pluperfect". The first "had" is imperfectum or preteritum depending on which kind of grammar you've learnt; the second one is perfectum. The first "had" is a so called "help verb" to the second, because in English both the imperfectum and the perfectum form of "have" is "had". In Swedish the first "had" would be "hade" and the second" haft", together "hade haft", which is plusquamperfectum or, shorter, pluperfect. It's just unusual to use that form in English but not impossible.

Thanks, Litigious.

If you'd had to explain any more of that, Lit, my brain might have exploded.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

I got a 78, but that wasonly the self-report part of it.  I'm not sure how I did on the knowledge-based part, but I think I probably did better on that.  I wasn't confused by most of the knowledge-based questions, save for the fact that I didn't see anything being extremely high on effectiveness in the personal probelm solution parts.

Guys, remember- the free report is only ONE SCALE.  Calling it your actual EQ qould be rather like calling your MBTI personality type "introverted something something something."
