Información

When should we use Present Perfect and when should we use Past Simple?

We use Past Simple for actions which have finished in the past, including those which have finished in the recent past.

Past Simple

Examples:

Did you eat breakfast this morning? (It is no longer morning)

I passed my driving test earlier this week. (In this case the driving test is finished earlier in the week)

Present Perfect

Examples:

Have you eaten breakfast yet this morning? (in this case it´s still morning)

I have passed my driving test at last! (the person has just recently passed their test, which is still true right now in the present)

The present perfect can also be used for actions that finished at some unspecified time in the past. If you want to limit the time of those actions
to a certain period of time, you can use a time expression.

In Past Simple

Examples:

I went to France last year. (“last year” has finished in this case, now we are in “this year”)

They saw the new Batman movie yesterday. (“yesterday” has finished, “today” is the present)

In Present Perfect

Examples:

I have been in France in the last year. (“in the last year” means in the year up until now)

They have seen the new Batman movie. (this is still true in the present)

You cannot say “I have gone to France last year” or “They have seen a movie yesterday”.
