ela se foi sem dizer adeus...
Present perfect vs. past simple
What is wrong with the following sentences?
Two things are wrong: none of them is true and the wrong tense has been used because these people are all dead. We use the present perfect with dead people only when they have just died.
Example: Margaret Thatcher has just died. Everyone is very sad.
Now rewrite the sentences above so that they are both true and in the right tense.
Example: JRR Tolkien wrote some mediocre books.
If you finish before the others, add some more true statements about dead people.
