and if I said "have" that mean I should use "seen"?

[Yankee]

.
Right, Kory. Because the word "have" is in the sentence, the only grammatically correct choice is "seen".

Hello..

I can't say "see" because it's present simple? And I should use "seen" because in this question we are using the present perfect?
