Please help. I saw Jim this morning.  This is enough just to state the simple fact. I have [already] seen Jim this morning.  This is possible, but remember the big difference between the two tenses: we don't get very specific about when the action expressed by this tense happens.  ('I have seen Jim at 10:00' is wrong.)

Once it's the afternoon (or later), you'll say "I saw J. this morning": the morning already belongs to the past.   pieanne Joined on Thu, Jan 20 2005 South of France ...But I'm Belgian!
