Present perfect or past simple

I would use "Whe did you see him for the last time". In fact, even if you omitted the "for the last time" part completely, I'd still use the simple past because of the when.

When did you see him?

Roula Angel When -------------- (you /see) him for the last time ?Many people argue that the expression " last time " is very specific and past simple should be used.while others say it is to be used with present perfect.Please help.

I'll bet you mean "When did you last see him?" or "When did you see him last?" "For the last time" means that you have never see

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

I have another question, id be really grateful if you someone can answer this.

whats the tense that should be used here? maybe im stuck over words. i saw " always " and i thought it has the meaning of all my life. so i used the present perfect. is it correct? or the past simple?

Thanks in advance.

I always ------------

"last Time" is an indefinite time in the past.. that is why we use present perfect rather than past simple

Roula AngelI always ------------ (want) a new car, thus i bought a new one.

I always wanted a new car, thus I bought a new one.

when an adverb of frequent is used with tense other then simple present it indicates that the speaker want to emphasize the sentence..

e.g.

“In those years we always did well against them in one-on-one games.”

the sentence above indicates that the speaker want to emphasize that "we" did do well every time we against them in the games.

that is what i know....pl

'Last time' is located at a past point in time; that is why we normally use a past tense.

Not necessarily. It normally simply shows the degree of frequency: always, often, sometimes, rarely, never, etc
