"Has been" and "have been" are both in the present perfect tense. "Has been" is used in the third-person singular and "have been" is used for first, and the second person singular and all plural uses.  The present perfect tense refers to an action that began at some time in the past and is still in progress(continues). For example, if I used to jerk off when I was 10 years old and I am still jerking off, I would say "I have been jerking off since I was 10 years old.""Had been" is the past perfect tense and is used in all cases, singular and plural. The past perfect tense refers to something that began in the past and was still true at another time that also was in the past. So, if I jerk off since I was 10, and I got married when I was 19, and now I am 22, I could say "When I got married, I had been jerking off for 9 years.". "when I got married" part identifies a specific time in the past, and the "had been jerking off for 9 years" says that jerking off was still going on at another time that is also in the past. Note that it does not matter, in this case, whether I am still jerking off in the present - the sentence is correct either way. hope you got me, brothers. stay safe !<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" /></blockquote>
