"English Grammar in Use" Murphy.
Unit 13: Present perfect and past (I have done and I did).
3.2.
12. Ann ... me her address but I'm afraid I ... it. (give, lose)
The answer:
gave ... lost or have lost/ 've lost.
Images from the book are attached.
What troubles me:
For me have lost is the only variant answer here. They are chatting now. "I'm afraid" underlines that he now doesn't have the address.
Could you comment on why did they mention past simple for 'lose' here as the primary variant?
