Hello, Learner.

(1) I will let others answer your question.

(2) I just thought that you would like to know about a mistake that many learners make:

“I wanted to TELL somebody that …”

Sincerely,

James

‘have been’ is the correct form, Learner.
‘been’ would not be correct in your sentence.
hard times, situations and difficulties are all appropriate.

many thanks beee! :slight_smile:
