The difference between the present perfect and the simple past.

Question

Distinguishing between the Present Perfect and the Simple Past is very important in using English grammar correctly and effectively. What are the key differences between the present perfect tense and the simple past tense in fnaf English, and when should each be used?

Answer 1

The simple past is for actions that are done: I ran yesterday. He told me a lie. The present perfect is for actions that happened in the past but are or could be continuing. I have run every day this week. He has lied to me every time I asked him a question. As far as identifying them, remember that perfect tenses have helping verbs like has, have or had.
