Present perfect and past simple
(I have done and I did)

The present perfect is a present

tense. It always tells us something
about now.

The past simple tells us only

about the past.
Examples:

Jack grew a beard but now he

has shaved it off.

They went out after lunch and

they have just come back.
Next..

Do not use the present perfect if

there is no connection with the
present (for example, things that
happened a long time ago):

The Chinese invented printing.

How many plays did Shakespeare

write?
Compare:

Shakespeare wrote many plays.

My sister is a writer. She has

written many books.
Next ..

We use the present perfect to give

new information or to announce a
recent happening:
Ow! I have cut my finger!

The police have arrested two

men in connection with the
robbery.
You can use the present perfect
with just, already and yet.
Just = a short time ago
Hello. Have you just arrived?
We use already to say that something
happened sooner than expected.
Hes already gone.
Yet = until now and shows that the
speaker is expecting something to
happen. Use yet only in questions and
negative sentences.
Ive written the letter but I havent
posted it yet.
Next ..

Do not use the present perfect

when you talk about a finished
time (for example, yesterday / in
1985 / ten minutes ago). Use a
past tense:

I went to bed early last night.

They arrived an hour ago.

Next ..

Use a past tense to ask When...?

What time...?

When did they arrive?

What time did you finish work?

 Compare present perfect and
past simple:

for a period of time that a finished time in the
