@gueule de bois
using the
word preterit as a past tense is wrong ; the preterit stands as
« preterit form » only for irregular verbs conjugate at the past
tense...
I used past
perfect, not the present perfect ! “we had killed”, you are right in a way that,
simple past will be fine because, yes, indeed the action is finish for ever.
I choose
that tense because is linked with the second verb at the simple present tense “we
take”, and also to emphasize the “action” with “for good”.
But if I had
to write such sentence I will be doing in that fashion :
Marie Antoinette
was executed, the only thing left from her is taking selfies of her asshole !
