How to write right Present Perfect sentences?
I need to re-write two sentences from Past Simple to Present Perfect.
1. Michael and Clair last went out for dinner together four months ago.
My Present Perfect: Michael and Clair haven't gone out for dinner together in four months.
But Answer Key: Michael and Claire haven’t been out for dinner
together in four months.
2. Michael's father and mother gave up work three years ago.
My Present Perfect: Michael's father and mother haven't given up work in three years.
But Answer Key: Michael’s father and mother haven’t worked in
three years.
My answers aren't right? Or I can write so?

Your #1 is correct.
Your #2 is not correct. Because Michael's mother and father GAVE UP WORK -- that means that they STOPPED WORKING, that NOW they are NOT working.
In your answer, you said that they "HAVEN'T GIVEN UP WORK" That is not correct.
Still haven’t found your answers?
