Conversation about the correct use of 'had gave' or 'had given' in English

Hello! Of course, I'd be happy to help. In English, the correct term to use is 'had given'. 'Had gave' is not grammatically correct. The term 'had given' is a form of the past perfect tense, which is used to talk about actions completed before a certain moment in the past.

Certainly. An example could be 'I had given him my phone number before he asked for it'. This sentence means that the action of giving the phone number happened before another action in the past (in this case, before he asked for it).

'Had gave' is incorrect because 'gave' is the past tense of the verb 'give', and when you're using 'had' in this context, it needs to be followed by a past participle, which in this case is 'given'. So always remember, 'had given' is the correct form.
