Tell me about a time when you have failed to achieve a goal.
Hi teachers!
I came across the sentence below and wonder if it is gtammatical. Actually I have known that we cannot use present perfect tense (have PP) in a "when ~ clause".
My book says this when clause is an adjective clause which modifies precedent a time
"Tell me about a time when you have failed to achieve a goal."
Many thanks in advance.
