Simple Past – Present Perfect Simple
Use
In British English, the use of Simple Past and Present Perfect is quite strict. As soon as
a time expression in the past is given, you have to use Simple Past. If there are no
signal words, you must decide if we just talk about an action in the past or if its
consequence in the present is important.
Note that the following explanations and exercises refer to British English only. In
American English, you can normally use Simple Past in stead of Present Perfect. We
cannot accept this in our exercises, however, as this would lead to confusions amongst
those who have to learn the differences.
Certain time in the past or just / already / yet?
Do you want to express that an action happened at a certain time in the past (even if it
was just a few seconds ago) or that an action has just / already / not yet happened?
Simple Past Present Perfect Simple
certain time in the past just / already / yet
Example: Example:
I phoned Mary 2 minutes ago. I have just phoned Mary.
Certain event in the past or how often so far?
Do you want to express when a certain action took place or whether / how often an
action has happened till now?
Simple Past Present Perfect Simple
certain event in the past whether / how often till now
Example: Example:
He went to Canada last Have you ever been to Canada? / I have been
summer. to Canada twice.
Simple Past – Present Perfect Simple
Emphasis on action or result?
Do you just want to express what happened in the past? Or do you want to emphasise
the result (a past action's consequence in the present)?
Simple Past Present Perfect Simple
Emphasis on action Emphasis on result
Example: Example:
I bought a new bike. (just I have bought a new bike. (With this sentence I
telling what I did in the past.) actually want to express that I have a new bike
now.)
