What are the differences between the "time sense" expressed by
the following sentences:
(i) They have had done a good job. this one is wrong
(ii) They have done a good job. this is related to now- completed recently, etc
(iii) They did a good job. this is not related to now
My understanding is that (ii) is present perfect and (iii) is past indefinite (I'd say PAST SIMPLE),
so what is (i) ? And under what circumstance should you use it ? NONE!!!
Much obliged
