Oh my poor leg
-Hello, Mike.
-Hello, John.
-What`s up?
-As you can see I`ve broken/broke my leg.
Which tense should we use in this case since John could see that Mike`s leg is broken before he asked the question.
Top answer
Both "I've broken my leg" and "I broke my leg" are possible, but I would say "I've broken my leg". The fact that John can see it does not affect the tense. By the way, you are using the wrong character for the apostrophe.
