Grammar
"was dealing " or "have been dealing"
Dear all,
In the last few lectures I have been dealing with business finance. This is from a book.
In this sentence I think it should be “was dealing” instead of “have been dealing” because in the last few lectures means past tense. Is it right?
Thank you.
