@groundzerobuild . Two weeks ago, I had had a pain in my back for three weeks. I thought it would go away, but it didn't. Now I have had a pain in my back for five weeks.

Well, lots of similar examples, which is great, but no explanations of why
people use "did you" vs "have done"

I've a problem understanding the tenses used in the following sentences. The question in my mind is “Why use ‘HAVE HAD’ or ‘HAD HAD’ ??? Why not just 'HAVE' or 'HAD'?":

@groundzerobuild
GOOD Question! Really.
I've had a pain in my back for a couple years, but I've had it all my life!
But there are a million other usages. This is just a common one

To all Non-Native Speaker's Of English (like me :-) )... Get a copy of : "English Grammar in Use" by Raymond Murphy.
Just Go through this and that will take care of all your Grammar Questions about Tenses like has, have, had, did, going to, will, etc. and their relative differences and also all explanations are supported by good example and Exercise to practice. Great Book indeed!!

@tango2olo Good point! We have also been using this book at my school for a very long time.
Also, don't miss the Real English grammar exposés on the Real English lesson site.
