- Bebeto, is it true that you haven't slept well since you got married? - No, I have slept well since I got married. I slept well on Monday last week. Your above sentences make sense, but would sound better in the present perfect continuous. Whenever the verb refers to a single act whose time of occurrence is expressed in the sentence or implied, you should use the simple past. Ex: The boy broke the window this morning. As opposed to: The boy has just broken the window. Ricardo - EMB |
