Hello all,

Just a short question: am I right to assess that the correct choices between Simple past and Present perfect here?

"Since the semester (begin) began, he (have) has had two exams and one major assignment."

I used Simple past and then Present perfect. Was I right?

Thanks a thousand times.

John.
