This qustion has been discussed here a few times, but I still havn't got a simple answer to the following situation:
I am sitting in a car. I am driving it and making mistakes. When the instructor asks me why I am so stupid, I smile back and... say what?
1/ It is the first time I dove the car (I am still driving it, when asked)
or
2/ It is the first time I have driven the car
or
3/ It is the first time I am driving the car
I know that version 3, though quite logical as I am still in the process of driving, is somehow incorrect. What about the other two?
Thank you in advance.
