Present perfect. Sixth writing exercise. Hello audience, Today I've traveled for work (The trip has finished but the day still not, is it correct to use present perfect in this sentence?) and I feel tired so I'm going to write something simple. In today's trip I've met a new colleague and I've had to teach him how things work in our company. The meeting has been quite tiring because I have had to improvise the whole explanation. I haven't had time to prepare the meeting conveniently I will appreciate your corrections. Thanks a lot and best regards.

Hello audience,

Today I've traveled for work (The trip has finished but the day still not, is it correct to use present perfect in this sentence?) and I feel tired so I'm going to write something simple. (You can say since it was a continuous action the past continuous tense: Today I was traveling for work, and now I feel tired". It sounds better that way.)


In today's trip I've met a new colleague and I've had to teach him how things work in our company.
The meeting has been was quite tiring because I have had to improvise the whole explanation. I haven't had time to prepare the meeting conveniently.

I will appreciate your corrections.
Thanks a lot and best regards.


Nice work! I found very little wrong with this entry.

It would sound okay if you used the perfect tense here, but I think it just sounds a lot better with the simple past tense.
