----- Original Message ----- From: great opportunity - freshhopes@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Grammar question Hello Helpful People.. While other people are helping all of us with what really matters, such as HOTS, CDs, and payment issues, here I come to this list again with another "trivial" question about the "present perfect". I wouldn't be asking if I understood the answer given in the answer key of the grammar book I'm taking my question from. Thank you in advance for giving this time and thought. Question: "wrote" or "has written" (and why) Dan Brown ....................... "The Da Vinci Code". I haven't bought it yet. I say the answer is "has written" because there is no specification of past time. Right? Why is this different from "I have seen that movie?" Hope to hear from you soon:) ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
