I packed my suitcases for the trip last night, but I haven't had a chance to call the travel agent and ask her if she books a hotel room for me.

Do I have to change books to booked or has booked?

Hume said that if we had perfect or complete descriptive knowledge of reality, we could not, by reasoning, derive a single valid "ought".

Your reply is either is correct, but now you say "has booked Good."

Please elaborate.

If you are sitting an exam, use "has booked". If not, use either as long as the meaning is clear.
