       @CppGuy @futurebird This s a great explanation. English is a bit unusual in that auxilliary verbs ("had", “been", "was”, etc.) are habitually used to modify the tense of the main verb. Most other language modify the main verb to indicate tenses like pluperfect and imperfect.

       @CppGuy @futurebird Fun fact! English only has two grammatical verb tenses: simple past, and simple present. I.e. “I walked" and “I walk". Every other verb tense is constructed from one or more auxiliaries, or inferred from context, e.g. in “tomorrow I walk to Biloxi", the walking happens in the future and has the same meaning "tomorrow I will walk to Biloxi”
