@edwardws Thanks a lot!!
May I ask another question please ?
I think, in Russian there isn't an equivalent to the English present perfect tense.
I googled it and it looks like indeed the Russian structure works otherwise and not exactly like the present perfect..
It's most likely we shouldn't try to match different languages structures.
I'd appreciate if you tell me your thoughts on that

@CorneliaAdams You're right. There isn't an exact correspondence between the present perfect tense and any one grammatical structure in Russian. Translation isn't really about substituting words for one another as much as it's about understanding how to express the same idea in different languages. Often grammatical structures can vary widely between languages.
