You need a course to understand them exactly. However, we don't give lessons here. Search past tense and the present perfect tense on the search box right above.

  • In your examples, past tense sounds grammatical to me because last year gives us a big clue that everything happened in the past and has no relation with the present so, He wrote ten....
  • is okay.
