A sentence using both:
They were both being questioned about where they had been on Friday afternoon.

"He had been busy."

If you have been to Paris last year- mention the mistakes in this sentence?
This sentence is a fragment; it lacks an independent clause. If you're going to use the helper and past participle, I would not use the words "last year." I would leave it at "If you have been to Paris". Otherwise, it should say "If you went to Paris last year". It needs more to it. I.e: If you have been to Paris, what language is spoken there?; If you went to Paris last year, where did you stay?
