Choose the word or phrase that best completes the sentence below. I ... my breakfast before the visitors arrived. (A) had (B) had had (C) was having (D) have had Answer: B Explanation: Use ‘had’ (simple past tense) when there is only one action in the past: I HAD my breakfast late today. Use ‘had had’ (past participle aspect) to talk about two actions in the past, the one taking place before the other (as in the sentence above). Use ‘was having’ (past progressive aspect) to talk about two actions in the past, the one overlapping the other: I WAS HAVING my breakfast when the visitors arrived. Use ‘have had’ (present perfect aspect) when talking about an action that has (just) been accomplished: I HAVE HAD my breakfast.
