 present perfect and simple past
Hello,
sometimes both present perfect and past simple are possible, depending on what you mean, on what you want to underline and on the context of a sentence.
I'd like to know if it is possible to use these two different verb forms in the following sentences:
1 A)He had a bad cold and he hasn't recovered yet
1 B)He has had a bad cold and he hasn't recovered yet
2 A)He gave Melanie a present for her birthday
2 B) He has given Melanie a present for her birthday
3 A) They have got married in London
3 B) The got married in London
Thanks a lot
