Dear Student,

The past perfect form of have is had had (had + past participle form of have). The past perfect tense is used when we are talking about the past and want to refer back to an earlier past in time.
For eg.
She felt marvelous after she had had a good night's sleep.
They dismissed him before he had had a chance to apologize.

However, the use of had twice, can also be avoided.
Please feel comfortable to share more doubts to learn more from us.
