1. PAST SIMPLE TENSE

USES
We use the past tense to talk about:

● Something that happened once in the past:
I met my wife in 1983.

We went to Spain for our holidays.
They got home very late last night.
● Something that happened several times in the past:
When I was a boy, I walked a mile to school every day.

We swam a lot while we were on holiday.
They always enjoyed visiting their friends.
● Something that was true for some time in the past:
I lived abroad for ten years.

He enjoyed being a student.
She played a lot of tennis when she was younger.
● We often use expressions with ago with the past simple:
I met my wife a long time ago.
Past simple questions and negatives
We use did to make questions with the past simple:
Did she play tennis when she was younger?

Did you live abroad?
When did you meet your wife?
Where did you go for your holidays?
But questions with who often don't use did:
Who discovered penicillin?

Who wrote Don Quixote?
We use didn't (did not) to make negatives with the past simple:
They didn't go to Spain this year.

We didn't get home until very late last night.
I didn't see you yesterday.
2.PRESENT PERFECT
(Review)
The present perfect is formed from the present tense of the verb have and the past
participle of a verb.
USES
We use the present perfect:
● For something that started in the past and continues in the present:
They've been married for nearly fifty years.
She has lived in Liverpool all her life.
● When we are talking about our experience up to the present:

I've seen that film before.
I've played the guitar ever since I was a teenager.
He has written three books and he is working on another one.
We often use the adverb ever to talk about experience up to the present:
My last birthday was the worst day I have ever had.
and we use never for the negative form:
Have you ever met George?
Yes, but I've never met his wife.
● for something that happened in the past but is important in the present:
I can't get in the house. I've lost my keys.
Teresa isn't at home. I think she has gone shopping
Have been and have gone
We use have/has been when someone has gone to a place and returned:

A: Where have you been?
B: I've just been out to the supermarket.
A: Have you ever been to San Francisco?

B: No, but I've been to Los Angeles.
But when someone has not returned, we use have/has gone:

A: Where's Maria? I haven't seen her for weeks.
B: She's gone to Paris for a week. She'll be back tomorrow.
3. PRESENT PERFECT WITH TIME ADVERBIALS
The present perfect tense is commonly used with the indefinite time adverbs never, ever,
just, yet, already.

ALREADY YA (affirmative form) S+have/has + already + v p.p +c I have already done my homework.
S+have/has+ + v p.p + c+ already. I have done my homework already.
