Grammar
came and has come
Dear all,
Recently I attended an English teachers class. In the class we were educated many things, but one structure I cannot accept. That is;
What is the difference between "He came and He has come" I know this according to grammar, one is simple past tense and the other one is present perfect. I answered we cannot use the second one with past time. eg. I visited kuwait in December. I have visited Kuwait. I explained like this, but they said," the second one we can show but first one we cannot show. I felt this like a comedy.
Context; Today I am waiting for somebody, and he came. Can't we say? "He came" or we have to say, "He has come."
Thank you

I am confused with this answer. "We can say neither" He already came. Can't I say? He came or He has come.
Thank you.

You said "I am waiting."
That means he has not yet come.
Yesterday I spent all afternoon waiting for my brother to arrive. He finally came at 5:30.
A: George, who is the man in our bathroom?
Goorge: That's the plumber. He has come to fix the sink.
