Past or present?

Hi,

Please which of the following sentence is correct

Or

Thanks Clive, I appreciate your reponse, but I have another question relating to this

If "he has not responded" is correct, does it mean "He has not came" is also correct?

Hi,

If "he has not responded" is correct, does it mean "He has not came" is also correct? No, it's not correct.

The past participle of the verb 'come' is 'come', not 'came'.

'Came' is the Simple Past tense.
