    Cool present perfect

    Hello!

    Is the use of the present perfect correct, here?

    "I can't find my handbag. Apparently my husband put it somewhere but he doesn't know what he's done with it! ".

    Thank you

    Cool Re: present perfect

    Thank you, I have three more questions:

    1)Could we say:" I can't find my handbag. Apparently my husband has put it somewhere but he doesn't know what he's done with it! "

    2) Could we say: "I can't find my handbag. Apparently my husband put it somewhere but he doesn't know what did with it!

    3) Could we say: "I can't find my handbag. Apparently my husband has put it somewhere but he doesn't know what did with it!

    Thank you.

    you forgot to type the pronoun 'he' I suppose.I would write them as;
    2) "I can't find my handbag. Apparently my husband put it somewhere but he doesn't know what he did with it!
    3) "I can't find my handbag. Apparently my husband has put it somewhere but he doesn't know what he did with it!
