When do you receive wrong or incorrect information?

I also collect incorrect information and face loss. Certain times people also collect incorrect information from advertisements and on the internet. But, here I would like to talk about a time when I received the wrong information.

Which is correct ” I did not receive ” or ” I have not received “?

They are both correct, but there is a subtle contextual difference between the two. The past tense (possibly past perfect, implying completed actions in the recent past): ” I did not receive the items ordered”. This carries with it the sense of completion; this may imply that the situation described is not expected to change.

When to use’i have received a call Yesterday’?

Just remember a simple rule: Don’t use perfect tenses when specifying the time, day, year or any time period for that matter. I received a call yesterday. I have received a call in this regard some time back. I appeared for this interview in 2002. I had appeared for this interview a few years back. My colleagues arrived at Chennai yesterday.

What’s the best way to respond to a wrong answer?

The best way to handle it is to offer a hint. Give them a clue, leave a bread trail, get them near the right path but not quite on it. It’s better to have students wrestle a bit to get to a solution rather than guiding them to directly.
