Past Simple or Present Perfect?
During a conversation what tense is better to use in the following sentence?

I didn't enter my street address. / I haven't entered my street address.

Or it doesn't matter?

(Just in case, under 'street address' here I mean the number of building and appartment)

Answer

You could say either depending on the context.

I didn't enter my street address = I didn't do it and probably won't/can't now. 
I haven't entered my street address = I haven't done it YET but there is still a possibility that I might.

Hope this helps!

Hi Nadiya,

As what Lauren said, anyone of the two tenses could be used depending on the context.
