have had oder had

[Carrie]

Hallo,

ich würde gerne auf Englisch ausdrücken: "Ich denke, die meisten von euch hatten Zeit, um darüber nachzudenken."

Ist diese Übersetzung korrekt: "I guess most of you had time to think about it."? (oder müsste es "have had" heißen?)

Lieben Dank!
Carrie

It depends on what you want to say. "I had time to think about it." Means I thought about it and I have an answer and it's done. I am not thinking about it anymore.

"I have had time to think about it." means I am still thinking about it. I don't have an answer yet. Maybe it is a big question that is hard to answer. It is still on my mind.
