Present perfect or past simple
Present perfect or past simple
The present perfect is formed from the present tense of the verb have and the past participle of a verb:
We use the present perfect tense:
She has lived in Liverpool all her life.
He has written three books and he is working on another one.
I’ve been watching that programme every week.
We often use a clause with since to show when something started in the past:
They’ve been staying with us since last week.
I have worked here since I left school.
I’ve been watching that programme every week since it started.
Note: We often use the adverb ever to talk about experience up to the present:
My last birthday was the worst day I have ever had.
Note: and we use never for the negative form:
Have you ever met George?
Yes, but I’ve never met his wife.
Teresa isn’t at home. I think she has gone shopping.
We often use the present perfect with time adverbials which refer to the recent past:
just; only just; recently;
Scientists have recently discovered a new breed of monkey.
We have just got back from our holidays.
or adverbials which include the present:
ever (in questions); so far (hasta ahora); until now; up to now; yet (aún, todavía) (in questions and negatives)
Have you ever seen a ghost?
Where have you been up to now?

No, so far I’ve only done my history.
WARNING:
We do not use the present perfect with an adverbial which refers to past time which is finished:
I have seen that film yesterday. WRONG
We have just bought a new car last week. WRONG
When we were children we have been to California. WRONG
