"Have been", not "had been". "Have been" is the present perfect, which is used to describe a condition which existed prior to the present time. Thus it is the term you must use here. |

"Have been" is the present perfect, which is used to describe a condition which existed prior to the present time. Thus it is the term you must use here. Past tenses have never been my strong point. I know I have to study them more.... Thank you, anyway.  |
