✔ 最佳答案
Benny has received Mary's letter.你是對.
以上句子係無講到Benny 幾時收到Mary 封信.
是用了 Present perfect tense
含意是:~
已經收到了, 大有可能剛剛收到了, 句子沒有列明幾時.
以下句子多用一個字, 比較明確點
Benny has just received Mary's letter.
Benny has received Mary's letter already.
Comment:
意見者：garlic2010, thanks for the constructive comment. I couldn’t agree more.
Benny has received Mary's letter for 1 hr. ~ 這句子是錯
原因 receive 這個動詞不可用 phrase of duration.
Benny不是過去一小時無停地收到 Mary 的信或者一小時內在不同的時間收到兩三封信
相信香港郵差叔叔一小時內不會派多過一次信 (正常情形下)
"for one hour" 這個 prepositional phrase 不能應用在收信上, 收信不需要一小時, 完全地不同 ”等收信” 等了一小時.
“Benny has received this letter for 2 hrs. (and are still reading it)” ~ 句子是錯
“for 2 hrs” 是言及收信, 不是閱讀信
"收信" 與 "閱讀信" 是兩件事 (two separate verbs, receive / read),
收了信, 未必立刻閱讀信
.
Just a suggestion:
Benny received Mary's letter two hours ago.
He has read the letter since then.
不多寫, 我怕像人犯同樣錯誤 - “寫多錯多”, 希望真能夠幫到發問者.

還有一大錯
(and ARE still reading it)
Benny 是 third person singular, 應該用 is, 不是用 are
Benny is still reading it.
TOMING88, am I correct?

Benny has received Mary's letter for 1 hr.
Benny has received this letter for 2 hrs.
Toming88, did the letter, by some magic, keep going back to the postman and the postman kept knocking on Benny's door in the last one and two hours?
Benny has received this letter for 2 hrs.

The Present Perfect Tense, though it indicates an action that took place in the past, is associated with the present idea of Now, eg:-
Benny has received Mary's letter.(Up to Now.)
The present perfect tense is used:-
(1) For an action just concluded when the resulting state is still present, eg:-
Benny has received her letter; he is able to get married now.
She has unlocked the secret; there is nothing to prevent them from getting married.
With activities completed in the immediate past, just / since is often used, eg:-
The letter has just come/arrived.
Note that just is an adverbial of the present, just now (=a little time ago) is an adverbial of the past and the verb used with it will be a Past Tense, eg:-The letter came just now.
(2) For duration of an action begun in the past and continuing to the present(and possibly to the future), eg:-
eg:-Benny has received Mary's letter for 1 hr.
Benny has received this letter for 2 hrs. (and are still reading it)
Compare this with:-
He received this letter for 3 hrs.(but no longer read it)
(3)When the time of the action is indefinite,eg:-
He has seen this letter before.Compare when the time is definite:-
Benny saw it last week when it was first shown in her hands.
Benny has received Mary's letter.(Up to Now.)
