Why?
I haven't seen them for the last one month.
It is still going on that I have not seen them the whole last month until now. That's why I use present perfect here. Am I right? Thanks.
Because it's a period of time. Though it's strange to me. I'd say for a month instead .;-)Quote:

Like Harry, I would say for a month.

Hi
I haven`t seen them for a month [ unfinished action- the process is still going on]
I didn`t see them last month.[ past action- finished]
Regards,
That is right. :up:Quote:

thank you
for : Present Perfect but For The Last Month! Last Month ended ! So what we use for the ended time?.....
Past Simple....
If ıt was "for a month" yes yours is the correct one but it is "for the last one month"...Quote:
