TENSES PAST SIMPLE/PRESENT PERFECT

PAST SIMPLE

The past simple is used for actions which happened in the past and are not related to the present.

We use the past simple:

For an action which happened at a definite time in the past. The time is stated, already known or implied.

Simon Cook painted his first picture in 1980. (When? In 1980. The time is stated.)

For an action which began and finished in the past.

Mr Clark taught Maths for thirty years. (He is no longer a teacher. He has retired.)

For an action which happened in the past and cannot be repeated.

For an action which happened within a specific time period which is over at the moment of speaking.

I wrote three letters this morning. (The time period is over. It is evening or night now.)

NOTE: We use the past simple to talk about actions which were performed by people who are no longer alive, even if the time I not stated.

Charles Dickens wrote “Oliver Twist”.

PRESENT PERFECT

The present perfect is used for actions which happened in the past and are related to the present.

We use the present perfect:

For an action which happened at an unstated time in the past. The exact time is either unknown or unimportant, and therefore it is not mentioned or implied.

Simon Cook has painted a lot of pictures. (When? We do not know. The exact time is not mentioned or implied.)

For an action which started in the past and continues up to the present.

Mrs Nelson has taught French for twenty years. (She started teaching French twenty years ago and she is still teaching French today.)

For an action which happened in the past and may be related

For an action which happened within a specific time period which is not over at the moment of speaking.
