Is the present perfect tense appropriate here?
Hi mom, are you busy right now? Ava has went home with a friend of hers after school and has stayed for dinner. She has left a message about it on my phone, but I didn't/haven't see(n) it before now. I know it's a little late but could you do me a favor and pick her up?
Questions:
- Would you use the present perfect tense where I have: "Ava has went... and has stayed... She has left..." (She has just learned all this when she calls her mom.)
- Which of the "has's" would you contract for it to sound natural?
- ...but I didn't see it before now/...but I haven't seen it before now - Which one sounds best?
