    Is this correct/Monster
    Message from lukaznachi posted on 28-02-2015 at 15:54:58 (D | E | F)
    Hello.
    A very educated woman on TV said this: ''I am worried about Monster because he has attacked people in the past''.
    Can you tell me why this is correct/incorrect?
    It just doesn't seem right to me at the moment and my brain has blocked so I can't figure it out. I would eventually but I can't wait since it's so irritating.
    Thank you for any reply.

    Hello,

    What seems to be the problem? What do you find incorrect about that sentence?

    Hello,
    the meaning being:
    'I am worried about Monster because he has already attacked people in the past''.
    the present perfect seems logical. a past action has a result in the present: I am worried.

    Thank you both for your replies. I understand it now. My brain had blocked, but it's fine now, I've figured it out.
    Now I don't even know why I posted that.
    Thanks again.
