Hello,

Which of the following sentences are correct? Why?


A.

I don't think I have done something wrong.

I don't think I did something wrong.


B.

I feel lucky to grow up in the country.

I feel lucky to have grown up in the country.

Thanks for your help!!

[CP]

A. Neither. A native speaker would say, "I don't think I have done anything wrong."

B. Since you have already grown up, and you are feeling lucky now that your growing up took place in the country, you would say, "I feel lucky to have grown up in the country."
