I have not received report yet. vs I had not received report yet.

The correct phrase is "I have not received the report yet." The use of the present perfect tense 'have not received' is appropriate when referring to an action that started in the past and has relevance to the present moment. On the other hand, 'I had not received the report yet' uses the past perfect tense, which is not suitable in this context.

I have not received report yet.

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English.

This phrase is used to indicate that the action of not receiving the report started in the past and continues up to the present moment.

Examples:

  • I have not received the report yet, so I cannot provide any updates.
  • She has not received the report yet, but she is expecting it soon.

I had not received report yet.

This phrase is incorrect in this context. The past perfect tense 'had not received' is not suitable for expressing an action that is still relevant to the present.

  • I had not received the report by that time.
  • I had not received the report before the meeting.
