It sounds confusing, but that's because "been" is a past tense verb.
Just remember that "has" is present tense and "had" is past tense. Only use "had" when referring to a specific time prior to now.
For example:
"It has been an awful hot day, today." (this is about something in the past)
"It had been an awful hot day, yesterday."
Another answerBeen is the past participle. The past tense forms of be are was and were. The past participle is used to make perfect verb tenses (have been and had been) and passive verb phrases.
Has been is present perfect and had been is past perfect .
The main uses of Present perfect are to talk about:
* some thing that begun in the past and hasn't changed eg
I have studied English since I was in High School.
* a general experience eg
She has been to the Louvre.
* recent events or states eg
She has been to the cinema this morning.
The main use of past perfect is:
* to show that one thing happened in the past before another thing in the past. eg
Jack died after he had been in prison for ten years.
