Complete the text with the verbs in the correct form, present perfect or past simple.
So, here I am - at gladiator camp! We (1).......(meet) the other participants - all men. And we (2)...... (pick up) our tunics and swords. ........
This is a part of an exercise in our textbook. It is not a homework. We did it at school and I just have a few questions about it.
1) Why is there no article before gladiator camp? It is a countable noun. If there shouldn't be any, what would be the explanation.
2) According to our teacher both 1 and 2 should in present perfect. However, I think that the second example could be in a past simple. Am I right or wrong?
