'Has' or 'did'?

0Are either 'has he moved in yet?' or 'did he move in yet?' grammatically incorrect. I'm trying to identify the difference between the two sentences but as of yet have been unable to find differences in meaning. 'Did he move in yet?' sounds more American English. Is this correct?02br

00Both are fine. The meanings and intentions are the same. AmE tends to use the simple past. Present perfect makes the act more immediate for the speaker, revealing either a temporal nearness of the action or an added concern on the speaker's part.0-
