"George 1 hour ago The difference lies behind the tenses; for Present tense; 'has', and 'had' for the past tense, respectively in relation question." "Edvard Malone Of course I know about tense. But in my native language we use "the time had come" in present tense too. So I don't understand when I need to use each of these sayings" George is correct. I understand where there might be confusion if you use both with your native language, but in English we use "the time had come" when speaking about the past. it can get tricky when using the past perfect tense due to its correlation to the present, but it is still the past tense. The time has come is used when we are speaking in the present tense. ie "the time has come to change the subject" *If i were telling this to someone as a store I would say "the time had come to change the subject, so we changed it" hope this helps, Jack Lindsay
