Verb tense Hi, everyone Which of these sentences is right? "I did two months of French (classes), so I am not totally unfamiliar with it" or "I've done two months of French (classes), so I am not totally unfamiliar with it"? Thank you

But would it be wrong to say " I did two months of French" OR "I have done two months of French"?

With this limited context, "I have done ..." is the textbook wording.

Your grammar book should have a section on this point. If you don't have a book, English Grammar in Use by Murphy is excellent. See pages 26-29. Here is a link to a helpful overview: https://www.ef.com/ca/english-resources/english-grammar/present-perfect-vs-simple-past/

How about: I have completed two months of French classes so I am not totally unfamiliar with it.
