To synthesise the following sentence, I used the present perfect tense “have cheated”. In the context, it sounds weird to me to use simple past tense. I’m unsure. Kindly help me to understand the reason for the correct answer.
Question: Addy cheated in the examination. It was very silly of him.
My answer: It was very silly of Addy to have cheated in the examination.
Thank you! :-D
