The present perfect is used to describe an action that took place at an unspecified time in the past but has relevance to the present. It is formed with the auxiliary verb have followed by the past participle of the verb (e.g., I have eaten). It is often used to express actions that started in the past and continue to the present, or actions that have a direct effect on the present moment.

The simple past describes events that occurred at a specific time in the past and are now completed. It is often used with specific time expressions such as yesterday, last year, in 1990, etc. The simple past does not have a direct connection to the present and focuses on an action that is finished and has no immediate relevance to the current time. Modèle:Main Differences

  • The main difference between the present perfect and the simple past lies in their relationship to the present. The present perfect has a connection to the present, while the simple past does not. For example, the sentence "I have seen that movie" suggests that the experience of watching the movie is still relevant or significant, whereas "I saw that movie" means the action was completed in the past and no longer has any connection to the present.


  • Common Mistakes
  • Students often confuse these two tenses due to their similar forms. A frequent mistake is using the present perfect with time expressions that are specific to the past, such as yesterday or last year. For example, "I have met John yesterday" is incorrect because yesterday refers to a specific point in the past, which should call for the simple past ("I met John yesterday"). Similarly, learners sometimes use the simple past where the present perfect would be more appropriate, such as "I went to the store" (with no connection to the present) versus "I have gone to the store" (implying the action has consequences or relevance to the present).
