People don't get why we say "present perfect" when it happened in the past. When Mum asked the boy , "How was your date?" and he answered, "We broke up," they both used the past simple. This is because they mean a specific action at a specific point in the past. If Mum had asked, "When are you getting married?" he would have answered, "We've broken up," using the present perfect because they mean the present effect of a past action. "We broke up" means "IN THE PAST she walked out in the middle of the date." "We've broken up" means "We NOW aren't in a relationship anymore." "You ate a meal" means "IN THE PAST you did this act of eating." "You have eaten a meal" means "NOW you are not hungry." The past simple means the act. The present perfect means the result, the effect or the new state.
Wow you have explained that in the best way! Do you want to speak? If it will be OK. I learn English and looking for someone to have an easy conversation hah
Love this video, really helpful. I'm not native english speaker, for me the easiest way to remember these tense is focus on the adverbs: - Present perfect: never, ever, for, since, already, yet - Simple past: when, yesterday, last, ago
Very good. I knew it a little, but now I think I understand it much better. I would like to see examples where both forms would be okay. Maybe with comments of native speakers saying which they prefer and why. 🙂
There are 2 acronymes to make difference between present perfect and past simple JEANY for present perfect Oil way for past Just , ever , already , never , yet On , in , last , whene , ago , yesterday
It seems contradictory, ‘We just broke up’, because in the same time you teach that we use present perfect with recently happened events. It’s confusing. ‘We broke up at the time of the date’, not just.
Thanks for this video.. it’s change my thinking from hard to easy about how to I will learn what is the different between this two tenses ... Sorry if I made some grammatically mistake in my comment, but I have been learning english since 3 months💡 All the best ❤️
Hi . I have a question for the native speakers . For the present is correct to say : She has been working as a doctor for 3 years . (she will continue ) For the past which one is more correct : She has worked as a doctor for 3 years Or She worked as a doctor for 3 years . ( she doesn't work it now )
For the past tense you say: She worked as a doctor for 3 years. The sentence: 'She has worked as a doctor for 3 years.' has the same meaning as: She has been working as a doctor for 3 years. In other words, she still works there. Good question! See link for a more detailed explanation! www.perfect-english-grammar.com/present-perfect-simple-or-present-perfect-continuous.html
I still don't get it. I just broke up is a recent event. Present perfect can be used for recent event so how is it any different from "we've just broken up" ?
Good night teacher I think the video is very educational and also funny because it presents us how to use the present simple and the past simple with examples of everyday life with a story of Tom I really liked this vídeo
I've been to France one day I went to France in 2020 I haven't done it yet I didn't do it last night Have you JUST swept the floor? It looks so nice Did you sweep the floor 20 min ago?
I don't think, as a US English speaker, that I use "I've gone to" as you've suggested. I feel that it can be used interchangeably with "I've been to" in US English.
Nice video, I think the lessons in my school is inadequate, so I have to watch some videos like that and buy some books may help me on learning English.
Thank you for explaining this with such clarity. If only more people knew how to utilize this tense correctly. One minor criticism: prepositions do not belong at the end of sentences. Instead of asking "How long have we known each other for?", it should instead be phrased "For how long have we known each other?".
Hi, thanks for the video. One question, min 1.10 you say "we don't know when it HAPPENED". That seems to be the rule itself, shouldn't we say "...it has happened" since we do not know when? Thanks

thank you for your help
May i ask a question.It’s long time since your friends have last visited us. Is correct this
sentence.Is present perfect or not.
Thank you so much!!!❤️
Hi . I have a question for the native speakers . For the present is correct to say :
She has been working as a doctor for 3 years . (she will continue )
For the past which one is more correct :
She has worked as a doctor for 3 years
Or
She worked as a doctor for 3 years .
( she doesn't work it now )
For the past tense you say: She worked as a doctor for 3 years. The sentence: 'She has worked as a doctor for 3 years.' has the same meaning as: She has been working as a doctor for 3 years. In other words, she still works there. Good question! See link for a more detailed explanation! www.perfect-english-grammar.com/present-perfect-simple-or-present-perfect-continuous.html

A very good video
Thank u so much
thanks 😍
thank you very much it's very clearly
Great piece! I will suggest you to reduce the valume of the background music.
I still don't get it. I just broke up is a recent event. Present perfect can be used for recent event so how is it any different from "we've just broken up" ?
on point !!! thank you very much...
Excellent lesson!! Great explanation! Thanks a lot.

I don't think, as a US English speaker, that I use "I've gone to" as you've suggested. I feel that it can be used interchangeably with "I've been to" in US English.
