Grammar
Past or present perfect?
Hi. Please help me with these. For the following, which would be correct (or possibly be preferable)? For number 3, is it OK to have a present perfect tense and past tense in a sentence?
1. For a class assignment, have students read a book and (then) write a report on the book they read (have read?).
2. Please find out how many of your classmates will do each of the following activities this Sunday. Then, draw a bar graph based on the data you collected (have collected?).
3. I see that you have completed all the sections and did (have done?) all that was required of.
