kohyoongliat is on a distinguished road
Default has/had

Shirley apologised to her mother for not sticking close to her. This caused her to be separated from her mother when they were shopping in a crowded shopping centre.

She has/had learnt a lesson. Nowadays, she stays close to her parents whenever she goes shopping with her.

Which word should I use?

Many thanks.

"Has" seems more natural.
