    This document outlines the general rules for using the simple past and present perfect tenses in English. It provides examples of four types of sentence structures that use the present perfect to talk about experiences in the past: 1) using "since" and "last" to talk about a past time reference, 2) using "before" and "first time" to talk about new experiences, 3) using "since", "last", and "when" to talk about the most recent time something occurred, and 4) using "for" and "began/started" to talk about past actions that continue to the present time.
