Answers & Comments
Verified answer
1) You have mistaken me for (потому что mistake somebody for) someone else. I don't know your sister, I am not her friend. (Present Perfect здесь нужен для описания недавнего действия, связанного с текущей ситуацией)
2) I think my parents have lent money to somebody. (нет указания на точный момент в прошлом, когда произошло действие, поэтому используем перфект)
3) Did you see Jane last Friday? (last Friday/month/year - маркер Past Simple)
4) Have you bought a new flat this month? (this month/week/year - маркер Present Perfect)
5) I have read six books this week.
6) Throughout the town, church bells rang and fireworks lit the sky. (Past Simple используется здесь для передачи последовательности действий в прошлом. Нет связи с настоящим)
7) My paycheck has risen by 50% since last year. (речь о результате/ изменении в оплате, произошедшем с момента в прошлом к моменту речи)
