Grammar
tense
Can anyone please tell me which one of the two sentences below is grammatically correct, and why? I am still confused as to which tense to use, the present perfect or the perfect past tense.
"A friend of mine has sent me an e-mail asking why I haven't yet sent him a wedding invitation." or
"A fried of mine has sent me an e-mail asking why I hadn't yet sent him a wedding invitation."
Thank you in advance for your help in clarifying this dilemma for me.
