Hello there,
I need your help, can you tell me if the following sentences are correct?:
-I've recently started ( or started?) a new job.
-Since I've discovered (or discovered?) this new coffee machine, I've been drinking 10 cups of coffee a day!
----------
Seen on TV:
A: I think he's lost his talent.
B: Yes, he lost it.
What does A use the present perfect and B the past simple. Why do they not use the same tense?
Thanks a lot
