A quick test for your brain (and, of course, the answer is already printed
below!!) Give me a sentence including eleven consecutive "had"s!
And the answer, of course, is:-
The teacher said, talking about two different pupils' grammar:- Jack,
where Fred had had "had had", had had "had"; "had had" had had the
teacher's approval!!
You can tell I'm clutching at straws here................it being dull, damp
and drizzly (nice unintentional alliteration there!) to-day, not much to do
which give me great joy - for example I really do have to start work with
finishing a rather large ironing!! Oh joy!!
