My wardrobe

-Mike! What are you doing in my wardrobe?!

-Hush, I've been spying you since you came/have come home.


Which tense is more proper here?

  

Top answer

I've been spying on you since you came home. The dialogue seems slightly odd. "Hush" seems a bit out of place and does not seem to fit with the admission of "spying" (a word which normally has negative connotations).

Voytaszek-Mike! What are you doing in my wardrobe?!

That would not work in American English.
