I have some questions please.

Why don’t we use * have * with * met * ? I have met him last month.

Do we always use some or any with advaice? The teacher gave the boy ( some ) advice which he refused.

Why don’t we use * have * with * met * ? b[/b] I have met him last month.– You cannot use present perfect when a specific past time (‘last month’) is mentioned.

Do we always use some or any with advaice? The teacher gave the boy ( some ) advice which he refused.-- A native speaker usually uses ‘some’ or ‘any’, but it is not necessary. The point is that ‘advice’ is a non-count noun.

Start by googling ‘present perfect’ and ‘non-count nouns’. There are many sites that explain them with examples.
