Bingo

'have seen' would be Present Perfect which CAN NOT be used with a time limiter such as 'once'.

The grammatically correct sentence would be 'We saw a dolphin show once.'

The amount of misinformation on these boards every time a grammar question comes up is astounding, especially considering all of you are supposed to be English teachers.


Funniest, most DavesESL-esque post ever.
