[Grammar] Have you visited/Did you visit Sydney?

[EnglishMan55]

Hi guys! I have a question.


There is dialog:


A: Daria, have you ever been to Australia?
B: Yes, I went there last year.
A: What month did you go?
B: June.
A: Have you / did you visit (ed) Sydney?


The question is: is this a past simple or present perfect?

Hi English,

Welcome to the forum.

What do you think the answer is?

Hi,

I think the answer is "Did you visit Sydney?" because "B" person answered that he went to Australia last year. And The person "A" answered about THAT trip (because Sydney is a city in Australia).

I think 'Did you visit Sydney?' is correct because it refers to 'last year', a past-time marker.

Have you visited is present perfect. Did you visit​ is past simple.

Have you visited is present perfect. Did you visit​ is past simple.

Have you visited is present perfect. Did you visit​ is past simple.

Yes, I know. [Space] I was asking about this dialog.

I guessed that was the question you meant to ask. See above for a clearer way to word it.
