I think. All are correct.

1) present tense.
2) past tense.
3) present perfect tense.

All sentences are correct. It depends on the tenses only.

It depends on the tenses only.

If this is the case, what is the point of having tenses and verb forms? They exist for a reason. Getting to understand the differences will help you understand. They are no simply alternative forms with labels. There is overlap - where more than one form can be used - but they have a purpose.
