Yes, both "I had told you" and "I had told him" are correct past perfect tense constructions. The use of "had" indicates that the action of telling occurred before another past action. "I had told you" refers to something you had mentioned to someone, while "I had told him" refers to something you had mentioned to another person.

The correct form is "You have told," which is the present perfect tense indicating that the action of telling occurred at an unspecified time in the past with a connection to the present. "Are you had told" is grammatically incorrect.


1.he told you that if you .... 2.he told you if you .... Please correct the two English phrases?

Both are correct. Both are parts of sentence in reported speech. In reported speech it is ok not to use 'that'. He told you that if you come you will have to work hard. He told you if you come you will have to work hard. These sentences are also conditional sentences - if..............will.............


Is it correct ''He told us they are going to do it'?

No, the correct sentence would be: "He told us they were going to do it." This is because the reporting verb "told" is in the past tense, so the verb "are" should be transformed to the past tense "were" as well.

Both "she said" and "she told" are correct ways to express someone's speech. "She said" is more commonly used in everyday conversation, while "she told" is often used when we want to emphasize that someone is directly communicating information to another person. Use either phrase based on the context of the situation.
