What I try to convey to another person. I have had a cold and sore throat all week. – does it mean that I’m ill at the moment when I pronounce this or I recovered after this cold but it`s still the same week and I have an opportunity to get cold again or it`s just fresh news. I don’t understand sense of the phrase. I have had a book.
