Anonymous Why is the first sentence is wrong? We do not use the present perfect tense with a specific time expression. html You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc.
