Hi all,
I found the following question in a grammar book:
Before the swimming pool ______ , people had to swim in the sea.
A) is built
B) has been built
C) was built
According to the model answer, "was built" is correct. But I wonder if "has been built" is also acceptable. "Has been built" stresses that the building of the pool is over and the time of which is not stated.
Am I right?
