correct tense of "notice"

Post by ansonman »

I have made up the sentences below.

(1) I say to John, "Do you notice that when we tutor Jack, he is very quick with his mental math."

(2) I say to John, "Did you notice that when we tutor Jack, he is very quick with his mental math."

(3) I say to John, "Have you noticed that when we tutor Jack, he is very quick with his mental math."

I am not sure which tense of "notice" is correct. Please help me. Thank you.
