Past Simple or Present Perfect?

- Do you know the difference between Past Simple and Present Perfect?
The past simple is used when we describe an action that started and finished at a specific time in the past, whereas the past perfect is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues to the present time.
The past simple can be used with phrases relating to finished time, such as:
yesterday, last week, last month, in 1999, three days ago
The present perfect can be used with phrases relating to unfinished time, such as:
this week, today, this year
Already, yet and just are usually used with the present perfect tense, but in North American English they can also be used with the simple past tense.

As a native English speaker... The thumbnail question can be answered either way.... Like "I forgot" is informal and "I've forgotten" is more formal
Yup, clicked on the video to say that too lol
I think it’s also up to each speaker to be honest, because “I’ve forgotten” in that situation is something I’d never say even if it was formal, because it sounds unnatural to me, but other people might have no problem saying it
@@aviator2117 lol exactly
@@reachablebutton4422 idk like I interchange both
What I thought right away was “I forget!” 😜
I'm75 years old.
My junior high school English teacher, Mr. James Roche,was a wonderful teacher.
That was 60+ years ago.
I took the test. Of the 12 questions, I answered 11 correctly.
Thanks you, Mr. Roche. I think of you each day that I write anything... Even the simplest note.
Oh,
I went to Junior High School 45, in The Bronx, NY.
Thank you for writing 😘
Never understood grammar, just read the sentence and feel what's right or wrong and write down the answer. Works 95% of the time
👍
Because you are a native speaker?
Me too, but I am not a native speaker.
@@reshat46 i watched English youtuber since i remembered
I still confuse between these sentences but thanks for the explanations, well done 👍
Thanks! 😃
Thumbs up! I have learned some differences and cleared up some confusions. Cheers!
Glad to be helpful.
I think that sentences like "I've just finished my homework" and "I just finished my homework" are both correct and i prefer using the second example as we're talking about something that has already been finished and it's now a part of the past
Q.8: When did you forget Peter's number? Have you forgotten it now, or did you forget it before? Forgot/forgotten is tricky.
My english teacher told us to use present perfect when:
1. We don't know when it happened (We don't know in which moment of the past we forgot it)
2.The effects of the action is still visible in the present (We still don't remember it)
3.The action happened in the past and continues in the present, up to now (Forgot in the past, still don't know it now)
It has to be present perfect
Also it can also be useful to check the rule for past simple which is:
1. Action happened in the past and ended in the past (The state of having forgot something hasn't ended)
2.We know when. (We don't know when)
@@jacopoye5111 great explanation, it makes a lot of sense for me, like, I also learnt this way but I still had doubts about... but you've made it clear now
@@dineyantunes4630 Thanks! I'm glad it helped you!
English is not my native language but I got it perfect. My confidence has just increased. Thanks sir!
You're welcome, Mark Christian
A very educational video, I always try to improve my grammar everyday and this video is helpful. Some of the multiple choice questions felt like both answers were correct so it is nice to see a clear answer.
Glad it was helpful!
I feel like numbers 6-8 could go either way, and as a native English speaker I would probably normally say all of the ones you labeled incorrect. I feel like a lot of the times the present perfect sounds more British, especially in the phrase "I've made some tea." I don't think I'd ever say "I've made some ___", especially if it was just recently and you're offering it to someone at that moment.
I couldn't agree more, when I saw that "I've made some tea" was correct I got a little confused.
Colloquially, we often say things in grammatically incorrect manners. There is a difference between the way people speak and the way English is properly spoken or written in a formal context. The answers marked incorrect in 6-8 would be fine when writing dialogue or speaking casually, but would be incorrect in a business e-mail, essay paper, or other formal writing.
Yeah as a native English speaker, saying you “forgot someone’s number” would fly with most people. It’s honestly kind of awkward to say “I’ve forgotten someone’s number” in a formal conversation, it just feels a little forced.
@@minette36 Thanks, that makes sense now.
@@nosatier9460 Right! I would never say, "I've made some tea" -- only "I made some tea."
Thank you for the lesson :)
I had some doubts about this before but now I feel like I've improved a bit my English
You are welcome!
Thank you so much, I finally get it. I was confused about this before until I saw your video. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work:)
Glad to hear that!

I 've lived in Dunkirk since november 2012
Thank you very much honourable Sir !Your excellent effort for teaching students is admirable .God bless you Sir !
Thank you so much.
I've noticed that "forgot" is used often instead of "have forgotten".
I haven't spoken to him about the car yet is correct answer❣️❣️😍😍👌
Quite useful!!! Thank you for your efforts in creating such an informative video. Bless you!
Glad it was helpful!
I made only one mistake:) It's great. I've been learning English for about two years also I haven't gone to any courses yet,only by myself. Now,I can figure out natives. I really need to improve my listening greatly.

Sir please after giving the correct answer, explain a little bit about the answer ...
Thank you, now I've realized the difference between past simple and present perfect
Always glad to be helpful for learners

Most welcome 😊
This is very helpful. I'm developing my English skills - step by step. 🙂
Keep practicing! Keep growing!
Probably the best explanation ever
Glad you think so.
Hello dear teachear. Thanks for this lesson. I've done well all the questions. I've made great progress in English since I knew you! Thanks 🌺😊💖
Hello, Diana. Glad to hear your progress.
Since I've known you.
@@satsumamoon Hello. Thanks for your opinion but my sentence isn't wrong because the main verb is a present perfect tense and the clause beginning with since is in the past simple because it indicates the moment something started and has continued until now. Another example, Susan has been living in London since she was eight.
I hope you can understand what I mean.
Thanks. 🌼
I'm a conscientious native speaker. I would suggest that you seek confirmation/verification from other sources .
Thank you for lesson and test .
You are welcome!
Thank you very much for your excellent lesson.
You're welcome, Alex Anigiri
No mistakes. Thank you for this test especially the explanation.
You're welcome.
What about 3:40 ? Is it Present Perfect or Past Perfect?
absolutely loved the explanation!!
I'm thrilled to hear that you absolutely loved the explanation in the video! Understanding the difference between the Past Simple and Present Perfect can sometimes be challenging, but it's crucial for effective communication in English.
Clear and informative explanations are invaluable in making complex concepts easier to comprehend. It's wonderful that the video provided you with a thorough understanding of the topic and helped clarify any confusion you may have had.
Remember to apply what you've learned in your own language practice to solidify your understanding further. With continued practice and exposure to real-life examples, you'll become even more confident in using the Past Simple and Present Perfect correctly.
If you have any more questions or need further clarification, don't hesitate to seek additional resources or ask for assistance. Keep up the enthusiasm for learning, and may your English skills continue to flourish!
I really like this content. You just explain it clearly and concisely😊😊
Thanks, Nisa 😃
I,ve worked her since last year .answer is worked ❣️❣️
Tell, correctly where to use this have?
Why "Hi's come back" , not ' he's came back '?? If the second variant the Present Perfect,we must use the third form of verb(came)!!!
Please note that we use 'past participle after 'have or has' and the past participle of come is 'come' not came.
present simple I / you / we / they come
he / she / it comes
past simple: came
past participle: come
-ing form: coming
Live and learn. Thank you so very much! This’s awesome. I really appreciate. 👍💕👍💕
You're welcome 😘
Nice lesson. At 3:11 you could have mentioned that the correct sentence should be "We sold out just a few days ago."
I’ve learned new English today
Glad to be helpful.
I received the letter a few days ago .👌👌❣️

Sometimes language can be cool and helpful, other times it can be a confusing dumpster fire.

Which tense should I use with all the weekend time expression?
Thank you for your test.
My pleasure!
But why is '"i made tea. Would you like some?" not a correct answer? The action was already done when that question was asked? Im confused. 😔
10/12
Thanks a lot! ♥️
Great job!
Ta very much.
You're welcome.
I think that #6 could either be a or b.
I’m a native english speaker and still managed to slip up on a couple of these 💀💀
Could you make another video like this one please?
Yes, of course! Our next video is about the difference between "if" and "whether".
6 and 8 are totally ambiguous since there is no clue indicating time and it can go both ways
deep in we all know the correct one is "i forgor 💀"
Either way you will be understood.
In question 2,7, both are possible. It depends on the speaker's intention.
Thanks for your feedback.
0:40 I'm in Istanbul and thanks to god for that! Istanbul is awesome. If you want to visit some historical places, Istanbul is ideal for you!
So true!
8 out of 12. Gotta improve myself. The questions from 6 to 10 were tricky.
Nice result! Thanks!
Helpful!
I'm glad!
That was a good one
Glad you liked it.
Can I ask if present perfect and present perfect continuous is the same?
Present perfect is more general, and present continuous indicates that something is currently ongoing
0:34 - This is the reason why I hate such tests. How can I know in advance that the person has not visited Istanbul yet? Both options are possible but the meaning is different essentially. There's no real context in such tests when only a single sentence is given.
Q2-B
How we will know, becouse both of option is right
What font is this?
That's a very good lesson! I got 💯! 😂
👍
All of my answers are correct!!!
👍
I got 11out of 12🤗
Excellent 👍
Full marks. Yippee.
Excellent 👍
can you please explain why in 1:47 right answer is b?
Certainly! In the given sentence, "He's home now," the use of the present perfect tense is suitable. Here's why option b) "He's come back." is the correct choice:
The present perfect tense is used to describe an action that started in the past and has a connection to the present moment. In this case, the action is "coming back" and the present moment is indicated by the phrase "now."
By using "He's come back," we convey that the action of coming back happened in the past, and the person is currently in the state of being at home. The word "now" emphasizes the connection to the present moment.
On the other hand, option a) "He came back." uses the past simple tense, which indicates an action that occurred and ended in the past. It doesn't convey the connection to the present moment that is implied by the word "now" in the original sentence.
Therefore, to accurately capture the sense of the present moment and the action of coming back in the past, option b) "He's come back." is the most appropriate choice when considering the present perfect tense.

to answer the thumbnail: i forgor 💀
I ,ve always wanted to go to istanbul.
Hey can u explain this?
Why can't we use i always wanted to go to istanbul
3:40 I'm confusing, why he said Past Perfect?
I'm so sorry. That's the correct version: The past simple is used when we describe an action that started and finished at a specific time in the past, whereas the present perfect is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues to the present time.
12/10 thank you😚🥰

Thanks for sharing!
There is a mistake in explanation. The Present Perfect is called the Past Perfect
I'm so sorry. That's the correct version: The past simple is used when we describe an action that started and finished at a specific time in the past, whereas the present perfect is used to describe an action that started in the past and continues to the present time.
Hi Dear l hope you're doing well. I'm really a big fan of your Channel, l found one of your videos with creative common and used it in my channel, l'm really so sorry l didn't know it's a big problem, but l found that it's deleted and there's a complaint about it, l apologize and would like you to remove your complaint. I would be so grateful if you do so🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is the link of the video l used. I'm so sorry again 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Better question: "Who Is Peter?"

Nice work 👍
"I've put on several kilos in the last month." .
I think the sentence must be
" I've put on several kilos since last month"
11/12
11 out of 12! 🎉 That's impressive! 👍 Keep it up! 🌟😊
I got to mistakes 😅😅😅😅✌️
Is this sentence correct?
We have washed the car, but now It's dirty now.
The sentence "We have washed the car, but now it's dirty now" has a repetition with "now." You can simply say, "We have washed the car, but now it's dirty." Keep up the great work in refining your language skills! 🌟📚👍😊
I've got 9/12.
Nice work!
❤😀
Thanks!
No, the real answer is “I forgor 💀”
The correct answer is "I've forgotten." because it has connection with the present.
