    Default Which sentence is correct?

    Dear Teacher

    1. Did you try this one?

    2. Have you tried this one?

    I believe both sentences have the same meaning. I believe the first sentence is AmE, while the second is BrE. Am I correct?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    #1 might be said in Britain, too. It depends on the context.
    Cheers
