Dear teachers,
I would like to know:
(1) under what circumstances that the past tense should be used instead of the present perfect, apart from "already, just and yet". Is it under all circumstances that the present perfect can be replaced by the past tense in US English? and
(2)as a UK grammar learner, how to ensure my class assignments are acceptable to US teachers in terms of grammar and vocabularly. Is there any convenient ways/tools on the internet that I can use on that? Thanks for helping.
(Both UK and US teachers are welcome for suggestions.)
