Hello..
I have a question about the Present Perfect and I hope someone will help
me.
I know that when the time of the past action is specified, the Past
Simple is used. But what about this:
" On Tuesday, I _____________ (read) an article which I _____________
(think) would be suitable for my biology paper. I'm sure I
_______________ (put) the article on my desk. I ______________ for it
all over the house but ____________ it yet."
Should 3 be Present Perfect or Past Simple? I know from the context
that the putting happened on Tuesday, but also the effect "I'm sure"
is present, so what to choose?
Thanks for your help:)
