有關英文句子問題請教大家

The present perfect tense should be used for an action just concluded when the resulting state is still present,eg:-
I have started to receive posters on Jan. 3 this year.
(=I have received posters starting on Jan. 3 this year.
Up to now I have received forty posters.
(up to now has the same meaning as so far, lately)

路過... 撘咀... 我寫就麻麻, 但閱讀多, 都有點理解.

文法上, 好像無咩問題. 但無人會咁講, "started to receive", 廣東話直譯英文. 同埋感覺係有點累贅. 普通英語簡潔為主. 同埋你有日月, 無端端加今年. 既然有定日子, 就連埋年份, 或只用月年.

點解唔直接說 " I have received forty posters since 3rd January".

你同外國人講, 無註明, 人地會假設你今年.

只作參考.

I have been receiving posters since 3rd January this year and have obtained forty so far.

"I started to receive posters on 3rd January this year. I have received forty posters
so far." 感覺上不應該用past tense, present perfect continuous 好些，因為你是3rd Jan開始收poster吧？如果你只是那天收過，之後再沒有收就用past tense好些。

"started receive"文法不對
要用"started to receive"或"started receiving"

樓上Jenkin的"I have been receiving posters since 3rd January this year. I have received forty posters so far."我覺得這句用得最好。

There is absolutely no problem with the sentence.

I meant "there is absolutely no problem with the sentences".

無問題.............

2014-08-30 17:13:50 補充：
" I have received forty posters since 3rd January". 沒有表達"I started to receive...on 3rd January this year"(今年1月3日我開始收...)的意思。所以不這樣寫。

2014-08-30 17:22:17 補充：
另"started to receive"不見得祇是粵語講法，"started to (verb)正正是簡潔表達"開始做一些事"的英文寫法。其它例：
I started to share my opinion after reading yours.
I started to search the internet for the correct usage of "start to".

I think that this is better : I started receive posters since 3rd January this year and I have received 40 posters.

假如你想表達由今年一月起已經一直收到poster...至今收了40幅...而仍預計會繼續會收到的話，第一句便不應該用past tense了(由於明顯收poster這事件亦不是在一月便完結，因此用past tense本身亦不妥的)，應該要改寫為：

I have been receiving posters since 3rd January this year. I have received forty posters so far.

這樣寫才是表達事件的開始和持續性。
