I hope someone can help me. Is it better to say: It's been six months since I've eaten pizza OR It's been six months since I ate pizza? Or are both correct?
Thanks a lot! |

Both are correct. The present perfect (have + past participle verb form) in the first example is common in British English but isn't used that much in American English (the second example).
For a quick reference, check out this handy verb tense summary from Clark College. |
