Had he studied yesterday? OK. -Yes, he had. However, you'd much more commonly hear 'Did he study yesterday?' 5. Could he study at this moment? OK- Yes, he could. However, you'd much more commonly hear 'Can he study right now.

	Believer  +  238347 Wed, 21 Jun 06 12:30 AM Thank you. If you had been asked the No.4 question, how would you answer? Had he studied yesterday? I would favor, Yes, I had  but how about Yes, I did ? Believer Auxiliaries

	Clive  +  238351 Wed, 21 Jun 06 12:38 AM Hi, again, As I noted earlier: 4. Had he studied yesterday? OK. -Yes, he had. However, you'd much more commonly hear 'Did he study yesterday?' Are you asking now about Had he studied yesterday? or Had you studied yesterday? You seem to be mixing 'he' and 'I'. Anyway, my comment is basically the same as before. Best wishes, Clive Clive Auxiliaries

	Clive  +  238414 Wed, 21 Jun 06 06:41 AM Hi, Had he studied yesterday? and    Have he studied yesterday?    which one is better is use ? The former. Have is not grammatical with 'he'. However, you'd more commonly say 'Did he study yesterday?" Best wishes, Clive   Clive Auxiliaries
