have + pp (past participle) = Present Perfect = Something you did in the past, but you don't tell the exact time in the past; or something that you did in the past and is important for now. A: Here. Have some pizza. B: No thank you. I have eaten already. has/ have been + PP = Present Perfect Tense, Passive Voice: This is the same tense as above,but the Subject did not do the verb (=passive voice). "The man has been arrested. Now we are all safe." had + PP = Past Perfect: Something happened in the past before another past action. "The servants had removed the food before all of the guests arrived." had been +PP = Past perfect tense, passive voice: Same as above -- the subject is not the doer of the verb; it receives the action. was/were + pp = Simple Past Tense, Passive Voice: The action finished in the past; the subject did not do the action--it received the action. "At 9:00 pm, all of the food was removed from the table." "The food had been removed before all of the guests arrived."

Never write in short forms. Not many of us can understand.

pp? What are you talking about? Is this the verb "to pee pee"?
