Present perfect vs simple past

[Luca]

hi to everybody i'm back from my holiday :cry:
i got some examples that have to be seen...
two guys are talking:
1)hi john can we play to the playsation?
2)yes i've repared it.
is this time right or i had to use simple past?
another one
1)hi robert i cleaned the pool can we get in.
2)yeah sounds great.
is this time right would you have used the same one?

Hi luca

In my opinion, in both of your examples, it is posibble to use either the present perfect or the simple past tense. I'm American, so I'd probably be more likely to use the simple past tense.

As was mentioned in your previous threads, it depends on how the speaker is looking at things and also on the rest of the conversation (the rest of the context).
