Hello dear teachers

In my tongue (Italian), we say: HO INIZIATO A LAVORARE LUNEDI

Can I say in both ways?: I started working on Monday or I have started working on Monday.

Answer

Grammatically, if you specified a certain date in the past, it should be past simple.
So either you say
I started working on Monday, or
I've started working
Notice in the second sentence I didn't use Monday.

Answer

You don't give a time for the action if you use present perfect, so only "I started working on Monday" is correct.
