Hello native English speakers.
Which of these two sentences is grammatically correct?
Do they have the same meaning? (what is the meaning of it?)
1. I have learned to be dangerous upon points of honour since I served the Spaniard.
2. I have learned to be dangerous upon points of honour since I have served the Spaniard.

Hi,
Both are grammatically correct, but they do not mean exactly the same thing.
1 uses past simple so it means the serving is finished.
2 uses present perfect so it suggests the serving continues or is still relevant now.
In most normal English, sentence 1 is more natural after since.

1. You no longer serve the Spaniard.
2. You still serve the Spaniard. '... since I have been serving ...' would be better.
