   Hi, Anton Shepelev!   
   I read your message from 30.10.2019 16:42   
      
    AS>>>> On my way to work I have encountered a difficult case   
    AS>>> Omit "have".   
      
    AK>> The information about the case is connected with the present time   
    AK>> (you haven't put the time mark). Therefore, IMHO, the present   
    AK>> perfect time was correct.   
      
    AS> No, the Present Perfect is harly possible here because "on my way   
    AS> to work" clearly indicates a past time and makes the whole sentence   
    AS> narrative.   
      
   Can we use the present perfect speaking of the action that has happened just   
   recently?   
      
   Ardith, what's the difference in meaning between "I have encountered" and "I   
   encountered"? IMHO, "I have encountered" is not an error.   
      
   Bye, Anton!
