[Grammar] they have bought or they bought?

[etiennnne]

Hi, do we say "I'm wondering if they bought the ...." or "I'm wondering if they have bought the...."
thanks

Context, as always, is important. They are both grammatically correct depending on context. Please give us full sentences to work with.

This, however, was a rude comment. Etiennne, please be a little more respectful to people who are trying to help you. If you read the rest of this thread (and the other threads on the same topic), that should help you.
