| 2)"I've studied" very hard the last weeks 3)"I studied" very hard the last weeks What is the correct tense in this example? thanks for your reply. |

| I studied hard last week. Because you are mentioning "last week" and it seems you are not studying anymore. |

| It's 'the last weeks', which haven't necessarily finished. 1 & 2 are both possible, but 1 is more natural to me because it adds emphasis to how hard the work has been. |

| Sorry! you are right. I totally ignored "the". In this case, I also choose the first one. |

| I often do the same thing. It's easy to miss a word here or there. |
