Simple Past Vs Present Perfect

Quiz

(175)
Simple Past and Present Perfect indicators/markers practice.

Remember:

We use the past simple for past events or actions which have NO connection to the present.

We use the present perfect for actions which started in the past and are still happening now OR for finished actions which have a connection to the present.

We CAN'T use the present perfect with a finished time word.
