At the end of a presentation:
I hope you enjoyed / have enjoyed my presentation.
Are both past and present perfect tense acceptable? please comment. |

| Either is OK. The past perfect is probably the better grammatical choice as it's an action completed in the past (although the very recent past). |

Did you mean the past example or the present perfect? (I'm not sure which one I would prefer, but I think I'd prefer the present perfect because it would still be related to now because of the timing.) |
