Glavna razlika med Present Perfect Simple in Past Simple je v tem, da se je

dejanje, ki ga opisuje Present Perfect zgodilo nedavno, v NEDOLOČENI
preteklosti in je povezano z sedanjostjo. Dopušča tudi možnost, da se bo
dejanje v prihodnosti še dogajalo.

Past simple opisuje dogajanje, ki se je zgodilo in zaključilo v preteklosti in ni

povezano s sedanjostjo in se ne bo več dogajalo. Past simple uporabimo tudi
takrat, ko imamo podan točen čas, kdaj se je nekaj zgodilo.
