John hires a freelancer, and he writes a text for him. Then John meets his friend Bob, and says this:
1. I've hired a freelancer, and he's written a text for me. Could you proofread it for me, please?
2. I've hired a freelancer, and he wrote a text for me. Could you proofread it for me, please?
3. I hired a freelancer, and he wrote a text for me. Could you proofread it for me, please?
Is it correct that sentences #1 and #2 are correct if the freelancer is still in John's employ (for example, he was hired to write several texts of which only one has been written so far), whereas sentence #3 is correct if the freelancer is no longer in John's employ (for example, he was hired to write only one text and then went on to work for someone else)?
