    The document compares the simple past and present perfect tenses. The simple past is used for past experiences that occurred at a specific time or had past results. The present perfect is used for past experiences without a specific time, past actions that have present results, or past actions that continue to the present. It provides examples showing David ate snails in the past but has eaten them, Kevin broke a window in the past but the window is still broken now, and Sarah studied French for a specific time in the past but has studied it for three months and continues to do so.
