Present perfect and past simple

1. The present perfect always connects the past and the present; the past simple tells us only about the past.

a) We use the present perfect to talk about something which started in the past and continues up to the present.

I’ve lived in London for ten years. (= I still live in London now).

b) We also use the present perfect when the result of a past action is connect to the present.

I’ve lost my wallet. (= I have not got the wallet now).

We use the past simple to talk about something which started and finished in the past.

I lived in Manchester for ten years. (=I do not live in Manchester now).

We use the past simple when the result of a past action is not connected to the present.

I lost my wallet, but I’ve got it back again now.

2. When we say a definite past time e.g. yesterday, last week, six weeks ago, we always use the past simple, never the present perfect.

I lost my wallet yesterday.

Someone stole my bicycle last week.

We use the present perfect to talk about an indefinite time up to the present e.g. ever, never, recently. Compare

Present Perfect

Past Simple

Have you ever seen a ghost?

I’ve never been to New York.

I’ve started taking driving lessons recently.

Did you see your friend yesterday?

I went to London last week.

I started taking driving lessons six weeks ago.

3. We can use today, this morning, this afternoon, etc:

with the present perfect when these periods of time are not finished.

I’ve spoken to Peter this morning. (It is still morning).

with the past when these periods of time are finished.

I spoke to Peter this morning. (It is now afternoon, evening or night time).

4. We normally use the past tense, not the present perfect, to ask when something happened.

When did you arrive home last night?
