They had no intention of letting him go and would

Answer 1

问：They had no intention of letting him go and would like him to stay on after his present contract expires 为什么用had不用have?

答：亲，您好，很高兴为您解答！They had no intention of letting him go and would like him to stay on after his present contract expires 为什么用had不用have?：过去发生的事要用过去式，那些事已经发生在她身上，所以用had而不是现在时的have。

答：如果是一般现在时，第三人称单数的时候用has,其它用have。如果是过去,全部都用had。has/have been是现在完成时，has用于第三人称单数，had been过去完成时，跟前者相比，比前者更为过去。had通常作动词have的过去式和过去分词，表示得到，也可用于过去完成时和过去完成进行时，表示已经。

问：这是咋知道是过去发生的事啊？

答：亲，您好，很高兴为您解答！had是has和have的过去式，用于过去发生的事情。
