<!-==text==begin==-> Dear Sami,

Good tohave you here.

Well let’s go to yourquestion.

You can ask:
1- Where were youlast weekend?
2- Where did you spend time thelast weekend?

Note you can notsay:
Where have you spent lastweekend?

Why?

Simply because HAVE +PAST PARTICIPLE is for Present Perfect tense. Andwe don’t use Present Perfect when time is relevantor mentioned.

If TIME is mentioned orrelevant, SIMPLE PAST must be used.

By theway, we only use Simple Past to say when we didsomething or what we did at a certain time in thepast.

Here goes a cue:
Use Simple Pastwith “last” or “ago” expressions.
Use PresentPerfect with “already”, “ever”, “yet”, “since” and”for”.

Hope you keep improving yourEnglish.
Have a nice day,
Anne <!-==10362==378==end==->

<!-==text==begin==-> PS.
It’s not reallycorrect to say:
“Where have you been lastweekend?”

See the time? “last weekend”?!So, no present perfect!

Bye!
