Hello Helpful People..

While other people are helping all of us with what really matters, such as 
HOTS, CDs, and payment issues, here I come to this list again with another 
"trivial" question about the "present perfect". I wouldn't be asking if I 
understood the answer given in the answer key of the grammar book I'm taking 
my question from. Thank you in advance for giving this time and thought.

Question: "wrote" or "has written" (and why)

Dan Brown ....................... "The Da Vinci Code". I haven't bought it 
yet.

I say the answer is "has written" because there is no specification of past 
time. Right? Why is this different from "I have seen that movie?"

Hope to hear from you soon:)
