My boss ... a salary increase. He ... the announcement this morning #1 (permalink) Thu Sep 06, 2007 4:56 am   My boss ... a salary increase. He ... the announcement this morning
 

Sentence:

My boss ___ a salary increase. He ___ the announcement this morning

Issues:

Which one is correct?

for gap1 "has announced" / "announced"

for gap2 "has made" / "made"

I have doubts about what choose

My boss ... a salary increase. He ... the announcement this morning #2 (permalink) Thu Sep 06, 2007 5:18 am   My boss ... a salary increase. He ... the announcement this morning
 

Hi Jon

What do you think?

Hint:
Keep in mind that the first sentence is not specific about time, but the second one is.
