Dear Sirs
Please help me with the following:
Q. It is a week since I .......... him.
a. saw b. have seen c. am seeing d. had seen
I saw this question in a grammar text.
In my knowledge, "It has been a week since I saw him" is correct.
But, what about this question?
Is this construction correct?
If so, can't we use both "saw" and "have seen" here?
Awaiting your reply.
