English term or phrase: that I`d been given
Versul : "Waste a chance that I`d(pe unele site-uri de versuri apare I`ve) been given" este prescurtarea de la "I would been given" sau "I have been given" ?
Nu sunt foarte sigur...versul acesta inseamna "sa irosesc sansa care mi s-a dat"?
Aici este linkul cu versuri http://music.yahoo.com/George-Michael/Careless-Whisper/lyric...

sau acela unde apare "I`ve" : http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/georgemichael/carelesswhisper...

Multumesc anticipat!

Prescurtarea e clara ca este de la "I had"; cat de corecta este alegerea acestei forme de "past perfect" si nu de "present perfect", that's a different story.

Si nu vad de ce ar fi "present perfect" cand antecedentul este" I should have known"; George Michael is lamenting about the past.

Explanation:
"I have been given" ar fi normal, conform cu corespondenta timpului prezent, in strofa aceea. De sunat, suna si a "I`d" si a "I`ve"... :) Cel putin mie.
