    This document compares and contrasts the present perfect, present perfect continuous, and simple past tenses. It notes that the present perfect emphasizes the result of an action and its connection to the present time, while the present perfect continuous emphasizes an action that is still happening in the present time. The simple past is used to talk about completed actions entirely in the past. Context is key in determining which tense to use.
