[have saved/have kept] vs [saved/kept]
I have made up two of the sentences below.
(1a) I have saved a lot of colorful seashells for my collection. I will continue to get more. (my sentence)
(1b) I saved a lot of colorful seashells for my collection. I will continue to get more. (my friends' revision)
(2a) I have kept all of my grandfather's postage stamps. (my sentence)
(2b) I kept all of my grandfather's postage stamps. (my friends' revision)
I have put the two verbs, keep and save, in the same post because they have similar meanings.
I am not sure if my non-native English speaking friends are correct with their choice of verb forms. Please help me. Thank you very much.
