	Clive  +  366957 Fri, 18 May 07 05:09 AM Hi, Welcome to the Forum. Have done means having done something in the past as far as I know. I have been to Disneyland. <-- it means I went to Disneyland some time in the past. I had been to Disneyland. <---- how about this? Simply put, it means you went to Disneyland before some particular time in the past. There are a lot more details, but that's the very basic idea.

	Clive  +  366966 Fri, 18 May 07 05:52 AM Hi, I had been to Disneyland before I was 12. <--- like this?  Yes But is this any different than: I have been to Disneyland before I was 12. <--- is this wrong? Yes. The tense tells me 'before now' but the other words tell me 'before the time in the past that I was 12'. So, you are telling me two different things.
