True or False: the present perfect is the time form we use when talking about complete actions far in the past.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
The present perfect is not used to talk about actions far in the past. It is used to talk about actions or states that started in the past and continue into the present, or have a connection to the present. To talk about complete actions far in the past, the past simple tense is typically used. Therefore, the statement "the present perfect is the time form we use when talking about complete actions far in the past" is false.Rate this question:

Below are four statements using the simple past and present perfect. One of the sentences has the wrong match between tense and time. Mark the wrong sentence.
- A.

- B.
My wife was at work all last week.
- C.
I have eaten pizza last year.
- D.
My dog peed on the carpet last night.
Correct Answer
C. I have eaten pizza last year.Explanation
The sentence "I have eaten pizza last year" is incorrect because the present perfect tense ("have eaten") is used to talk about actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past or have a connection to the present. However, "last year" specifies a specific time in the past, so the simple past tense ("ate") should be used instead.Rate this question:
