This document compares and contrasts the simple past and present perfect tenses. The simple past is used to talk about actions or events that are completed in the past, often with time phrases like "yesterday" or "last year." The present perfect tense connects the past with the present and is used to talk about unfinished or ongoing actions, often with time phrases like "recently" or "since." Examples are provided to illustrate the difference between using the simple past "Tim lived in Canada for 3 years" versus the present perfect "Tim has lived in Canada for 3 years."
