Assume this is the scenario. I need to study for 3 hours every week and I have done it. Today is Sunday and while I am playing cards, mum walks in.
Mum asks "Why are you playing cards and not studying?"
(1) My answer " I am playing cards and not studying because I have studied my designated 3 hours yesterday."
(2) My answer " I am playing cards and not studying because I studied my designated 3 hours yesterday."
Which answer is grammatically correct? And why ?
My personal opinion : Since I have the word "yesterday", logically, it seems like (2)is correct. However, (1) somehow seems correct too but I don't know why (I might be wrong).
Thanks for your help.
