I was wondering, would something like this be acceptable?
"We've been having some difficulties recently/lately."
or would it sound more natural with present perfect simple?
"We've had some difficulties recently/lately."
or maybe past simple would sound even more natural:
"We had some difficulties recently/lately."
Is there any difference between lately and recently in these sentences?
I'm trying to understand what tense one uses with "recently" and what tense with "lately" and if it makes any difference when you exchange "recently" for "lately" or vice versa. Would somebody clear this up for me please?
