Answer:
Explanation:
I saw him a moment ago.
You only use "a moment ago" to indicate that something happened just now or is just now beginning to happen.
The origin of something in the present is discussed using the simple past.
We can use either the present perfect or the simple past to discuss completed acts. The kind of temporal expression that is employed frequently determines this. With phrases like yesterday, last week, three years ago, then, and when, we typically avoid using the present perfect. The present perfect is typically used with words that pertain to (any time up to now), never,like ever, recently, before, often,yet, already, etc.
With the simple past, just now (meaning "a moment ago") is utilised.
Therefore we also use simple past tense with 'a moment age'
Then the correct sentence will be I saw him a moment ago.
