Re: what a terrible examination problem we had!

The answer is "B"

It is describing your position while you were looking at the church another example would be :-

"You go around this corner all the way to the top from where you will be able to see the entire Bocage map, provided you have your maphack on"

The first one is present perfect. It conveys actions that happened sometime in the past or that started in the past and are still ongoing.

"I have hidden from the Mafia for more than five years." (Thanks seventy)

The second one is nonsense.

Yea you are right.

"I have hidden from the Mafia for more than five years"

This is a correct example because we are talking about a timespan that started in the past. Some years ago is a point in the past hence simple past and not present perfect.

How did you see the church if you were inside?

I looked through the window and I could see the church from there.

Sunshine, can you tell what different beetwin "from" and "out of",  "jump from plane" or "jump out of plane"?
because in Russian, for example, those are exactly the same.

"от" и "из"

They mean the same thing depending on how you word it...

For example:

Question:
Specifically, how did he exit the plane?

He jumped out of the plane from the door.
He jumped from the plane out of the door.

The teacher wanted to test our grammer,so there' no idiomatic English choice.

thats an example, it seems that writing like that doesnt violates the rules

are phrases " I am up for this" and "I am down for this" mean the same, like you agree to participate in something?

i dont know either, i just remember it because when i finally thought i had started to learn a bit they took out this new set of weird words.

so i memorized one thing (verb), and cheated for the rest, and just barely cleared the test hehe..

It's what all of us non Cyrillic users see whenever Russian players type. In this case, someone hand wrote the letter using the wrong code. And the postman actually manually fixed it.

Remember the "we've" is a contraction of "we have", which would make your sentence "we have had have...". 

Anyway, put "have" before "had" not after it.
