Aditya Kumar answered |
it is a past tense, and we are making it more perfect.
=> In order to write in 'Past Perfect Tense' we use 'had rung'.
=> Use 'has rung' if you want to make it 'Present Perfect Tense'.
Take a look the below sentences:
1. The telephone HAD rung several times before I answered it.
2. The telephone HAS rung several times before I answered it.
Both are grammaticality correct, but second one it not nice while comparing to first one.
