Tenses

Answer 1

Recently the price of petrol has gone up.

Answer 2

Recently the price of petrol has gone up.

The word ‘recently’ should be used along with the present perfect tenses and past tenses.

The past tense can be used when the action in present is the continuation of the past.

The present perfect can be used when action is the source of the present. Present perfect is also present tense which takes the name because the action takes place at the time it is spoken.
