Certainly! Let's go through each sentence and decide whether to use the Present Perfect or Past Simple tense.

1. Kevin has lost his key. He left it on the bus yesterday.

   • "Has lost" is Present Perfect because it refers to a recent event with relevance to the present (he still doesn't have his key). "Left" is Past Simple because it happened at a specific time in the past ("yesterday").

2. I have not played tennis since I was at school, but I went there on their honeymoon in 1967.

   • "Have not played" is Present Perfect because it refers to an action that started in the past and continues to the present. "Went" is Past Simple because it refers to a specific event in 1967.

3. A: Have you not chosen your new car yet? B: Yes, I bought one yesterday.

   • "Have not chosen" is Present Perfect because it questions an action that may still be relevant now. "Bought" is Past Simple because it refers to a completed action in the past ("yesterday").

4. A: Have you not sold your old car yet? B: Yes, my cousin gave me £500 for it last week.

   • "Have not sold" is Present Perfect because it questions the completion of an action up to now. "Gave" is Past Simple because it refers to a specific event in the past ("last week").

5. I think our teacher has forgotten about the test! He did not say anything about it in the last lesson!

   • "Has forgotten" is Present Perfect because it refers to a potential ongoing state (the teacher still hasn't remembered). "Did not say" is Past Simple because it's a specific event in the past ("in the last lesson").

6. Sarah has broken her leg. She fell off a horse last week.

   • "Has broken" is Present Perfect because it refers to a current state (her leg is still broken). "Fell" is Past Simple because it refers to a specific event in the past ("last week").

7. We have sold our house. Some people saw it last month and bought it.

   • "Have sold" is Present Perfect because it refers to a completed action with relevance to now (they no longer own the house). "Saw" and "bought" are Past Simple because they refer to specific events in the past ("last month").

8. I have finished decorating my room. I painted it last week and I put up the new curtains last night.

   • "Have finished" is Present Perfect because it refers to a completed action with relevance to the present. "Painted" and "put up" are Past Simple because they refer to specific past events ("last week" and "last night").

9. They have lost their cat. It ran away last week.

   • "Have lost" is Present Perfect because it refers to a current situation (the cat is still missing). "Ran" is Past Simple because it refers to a specific past event ("last week").
