Question

I want to write a letter to my principal for refund of 2nd group coaching, but i already paid both the group's fees in the month of august itself.. So please tell me which one is correct, i had paid the fees or i have paid the fees

Answer 1

I have paid the fees

Answer 2

Both are grammatically correct depending on the context.

"I had paid" implies that you are looking into the past and at that time in the past, you had already paid the fees. "I have paid" looks at it in the present time and says that as it now currently stands, I have paid the fees.

It sounds like, in context, "I have paid" would probably fit best.

Answer 3

In context: I have paid the fees, so I am going to write a letter to the principal. When I wrote to the principal, I had paid the fees already.

Answer 4

"I have paid the fees" but if you decide to add "time" in your sentence(i.e. August) then you will need to express it in the simple past tense: I paid the fees in August.

Answer 5

"I have paid the fees already" but if you decide to add "time" in your sentence(i.e. August) then you will need to express it in the simple past tense: I paid the fees in August.
