Past simple and present perfect with the verb eat BE RP
Today i`ve met the examiner from the Cambridge Center in my country.
When i was talking with her he stated the the phrase:
" I ate 4 sandwitches for breakfast"
is by all means incorrect and has to be replaced by:
" I have eaten 4 sandwitches for breakfast"
Due to his explanation it comes from the verb by itself.
Can you point me why it is like that? Where can i find thoose differences in grammer between normal language and BE RP?
For me giving out the fact without any connotaions can be done in Past simple and even should be.
I should add that there was no context, it was only about translating that given one sentence.
