When have you got the rash? vs When did you get the rash? #1 (permalink) Thu Sep 10, 2009 10:45 am   When have you got the rash? vs When did you get the rash?
 

Hello, I learnt I must use When did you... and can use When have you ever... as a rhetorical question only.
But how about this sentence:
When have you got the rash?
It seems to be correct. Why?

Which one is correct:
1/ When have you got the rash?
2/ When did you get the rash?

and do both mean the same? I'm confused.

thanks a lot

When have you got #2 (permalink) Thu Sep 10, 2009 11:07 am   When have you got
 

When did you get the rash? This is correct.

The other may be used, but it is couched in poor English.

They do both mean the same thing.
