| Jan 18, 2016 at 18:20 | comment | added | Schwale | This is weird. Normally, the tense which replies to the when question word is the past tense, so I probably would've written when I had to break... But I think the author is looking for a connection with the present, so he uses the perfect form have had along with know to do so; knew could also work here, to bring up details of the completed action in the past along with whether I've done it well or not. (Measuring the duration of the action up to the present.) | |
