English Tenses: How to use PRESENT PERFECT and PAST SIMPLE

thank teacher, this lession is so good
i wish i could have your facebook’s name, because if i have problem about english lession, i can ask you!

nguyenlongbien

I think it was a faily good lesson. Using a time line would’ve helped us to understand and contrast much easier both grammar tenses.

Well, it is just a suggestion.

Regino

in the video it says about his facebook.

All the best with you and your lessons,my good teacher!

My name is delwar.I would be glad if someone wants to do practice in english with me. My skype name is sony.hasan5

Thanks.

delwar

Quiz: sentence 1st. We don’t know when it happened. Why is Present Perfect the right answer?

Thanks.

byte

Yes, if you don’t know when it happened, then you have to use the present perfect tense. Try to imagine it as an experience what you still have got. “I have seen the Loch Ness monster.” – That’s a memory in my mind what still exists. I don’t know (or it’s irrelevant) when was the day I saw that entity but though it happened in the past, that event is still valid, still exists as a memory in your mind. So you have to use the PRESENT perfect tense.

bencebacsi

Thanks Ben!
You couldn’t give me best explanation. Now I have understood!
Very kind, thanks again.:)

byte

it is helpful. Thanks teacher very much

legendcomeback

That was great, I got it very well. I would like to ask to you, please make a video explaining about past perfect now, if not a nuisance.

Thanks Benjamim, very interesting lesson.
Is indeed difficult for some students the relation between these two verbal tenses.

ricmen

Hello, thank you very much for this lesson. .. Really i like it.

Rebecca Amal

Thank you very much for the great lesson

zina salem

An adverbial of time is a clue. We can’t use Present Perfect if the exact past time of action is specified. “We have watched the movie yesterday.” is incorrect, right? It seems to me that “We watched the movie YESTERDAY.” instead is correct.

Konstantin

Yes, you’re fully correct. Yesterday already finished, it’s over so you have to use Simple Past. Everytime we specify the time we did the action we don’t use Present Perfect.

Raphael Souza

Thank you.. the class was very well explained. u have been a good teacha.. cheers..!!

Ricky Fiebig

Thanks a lot dear Benjamin.I got 10 out of 10.
I actually like your accent. It’s really perfect. I’ve learned English with American accent. How can I learn British accent to pronounce and speak like you? ;)
Does it take a lot of time??
Thank you so much.

elmira1

hey elmira what can i do inorther to whatch movies in this site.

123456mehdi

Hi Mehdi. You should install Adobe Flash Player software in order to watch videos.

elmira1

thanks indeed

123456mehdi

Hi Elmira, I love British accent too. I pronounce in British although my teachers told me it’s a hard way…
I really enjoy watching Mr. Benjamin’s lessons and listening to his accent <3
I think If you're interested in learning it, it's better to care more and more about phonetic of each word that you've heard. And also please check in a dictionary and exercise as much as you can ;)

Sepid

Oh gosh! 9/10… how come :(

Thanks Benjamin. Although I understood nothing, anyway, all yours lessons are interesting to watch.

Gagarin

In many cases we have some words helping us distinguish between past simple and present perfect. For example if we have ‘yesterday’, we use past siple. If we have ‘ever’ or ‘never’ we use present perfect. But sometimes we do not have such words in a sentence. Usually teachers say: if we are talikng about past, which is related to present (now) we use present perfect… I think it can be confusing. Logically everything what happened in the past somehow influences the present. Should we always use present perfect then? I think this issue should be explained in another way. The usage of right tense should depend on what we want to focus on. If we want to emphasise an activity we use past simple. If we want to emphasise a result – we use present perfect. Cleaning house is a good example. “I cleanded my house”. I want to be focused on the activity. Cleaning in this case. “I have cleaned my house”. In this case the effect (clean house) is important.
Feel free to add comments about my opinion.

“Managers’ pay has grown at an extraordinary pace since the mid 1980s.”
(The Economist, 24. march 2007)

Thanks

I would say
“Managers’ pay has been growing at an extraordinary pace since the mid 1980s”

bikashsunuwar

Hi Benjamin, will you help me to clarify a question, closely connected with this lesson?
Which of the sentences written below is better grammatically?
Why didn`t you consult me on this matter or
why haven`t you consulted me on this matter?
P.S. there is no reference in the context as to the time when this event happened.
I`d rather prefer to use Past Simple in this context. Thanks in advance.

lesson was very complicating but questions are very easy,thanks teacher

According to the dictionary (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/shine) ‘shined’ is also valid.

thank you Mr Benjamin

cenyou

Thank you :)

Ahmad Elsherbiny

For i’m unique in this site. i would like u to help me how to speak like native speaker tutor Benjamin

Joseph Lolika

Thanks Ben :)
I have a question about using the present perfect to talk about the consequences like “he has found the helmet” in your example. can’t we just say “he find it” ???? or the simple present can’t be used for results?
90% at the quiz,,I thought that shine is regular verb.

Rahaf

Hi Rahaf,
Yea, I have the same question as well. Also, I made a mistake in the ‘shine’ question. Anyway, I hope you have a lovely day.

About the 9th question I found this. With the verb shine, the form shined is preferred in everyday English, possibly because shone sounds too much like the form shown, which is the past participle of show. However, in Internet searches the form shone occurs quite frequently because of its use in literary English.

DO you live in China now?

thanks :)

semsam

hi benjamin thanks a lot
what is other tips will help me to identify the sentences weather it past simple and present perfect?

Hi Benjamin, thanks again for this lesson.
I got 9 out of 10 ! However, I’m a bit confused, because of the last question … I chose “shined” instead of “shone” and, to be honest, I’m not sure I was wrong !
Please, could you clarify ?

cborozan

Hi Benjamin ,I have a question : Can I say : When have you started this morning ,My teacher said that I can’t use have with When .

Serbest

Serbets, the structure of the present perfect tense is subject+has/have+past participle verb. If you look up shine on the web, you will find that is an irregular verb and its past participle form is shone. Hopeful is useful. Greetings from Peru

lupikepi

Second lesson with you. 10 out of 10. Thanks

Abdul Qayum

Tell me would it be a big mistake if instead of perfect a present or past simple is used? Would I be understood? I am a teacher and I hate lessons with perfect because it is so confusing for students to use it. Here in Polish we don’t have it and we use past or simple (and other tenses) so students can’t understand why sentences She’s just eaten or I’ve read a book are in perfet since in Polish they’re just the past.

Past Perfect Tense
Past Perfect Continuous Tense
Present Perfect Tense
Past Perfect Continuous Tense
Future Perfect Tense
Future Perfect Continuous Tense

Nice explanation, thank u sir.
If u dont mind, it will be a great help if could explain the differences among Regarding, related to, with respect to & On behalf of..

3. I am calling you with respect to your interview.
4. i am calling you on behalf of your interview,
Which one is true from the above 4 examples and why?
I am getting confused of these….

junaidchithari

hello our teacher thank u for your lesson
i have some Comparison
Ok
present perfect :
we use have with(pr)p : you -we-I-they
we use has with(pr)s: sh -he it
ex: I have lost my key
ex: she has finished her homework
past simple :
we use with verb to (be)
1/ were (are in present simple) withe : we-they-you
2/ was ( is in present simple ) with : I -she-he -it
and ::: present prefect : * finished time only and this actin not important for me. example :
i have seen that film . why i said that coz i do not want to see it again .
but in the past simple when i saying : I saw it last week
past simple : past action and past time
this is first information
*** second : present prefect : we use just or recently . = finished action
ex: we have recently sold our house
but : past simple : a long time a go
ex: my parents met in London or i lost my key last week
present prefect : usually a situation is the same as the past > what is mean ?
ex: he has gone out
past simple : the time must be finished : it rained yesterday
**** present prefect : we can talk about time not finished : he has rained today
also : sometime : there is a connection with now
past till now
they have gone home
***** past simple : sometime happened in the past and this action not connection to now
ex: i visited Ukraine when i was a child

I’m confused. you said that Present Perfect is used to describe something happening now.
In the sentence: “This mountain has never been climbed buy anyone. Several mountaineers have tried to reach the top, but nobody has neer succeeded.” Where this sentence is mentioning something occuring now?

tutunia

Ben, I have a doubt:
If we use have, in present perfect, to say something that happen currently…
…Why do we must use “just” after present perfect “have”? Example: My pen has just run out of ink

milanostylus

I was wondering why he had his hair like that untill he put his helmet back.

Thanks teacher!

michelemitsue

Hej teacher.Could you explain please to me why this sentence should be like that? “We last saw him a long time ago”. I think, we should use here “We last have seen him a long time ago”. It is actually an extract for the one grammar book.

kirillstan

Thank you Ben, I’ve got 10/10 ?

Mouliza Donna

kirillstan, I think correct is 1-st sentence. We use Past Participle for events which happened recently (as wrote Benjamin at the board). But in your example event took place “a long time ago”. So, in my opinion, we use Past Simple!

Vitalii UA

Hi,I am a newbie on this site,thank u for your videos and lesson Benjamin teacher!

Ualikhan89

Thank you!IT really helps me a lot:))

Qchan

Thanks for the helpfull lesson, but i have a question to ask you aboult: How do i know if you are talking aboult the past simple or the to be verb when you use the apostrophe in “he’s” for example? I mean, if it is “he is” or “he has”?

Felipe

In the video – 3:21 – Benjamin said for present perfect, that the action (finish homework) was 5 Min. ago.

But if something was 5 Minit ago, it is PAST SIMPLE not PRESENT PERFECT.
I think, Benjamin is wrong.

sasa sansanee

Thank you, Benjamin, but in some reason I can’t open the quizes. I can see only the first question and it happened with all the lessons.
Do you know why?

BNaydenova

thank you I am learning this language and I understood perfectly this video

juset

Benjamin, I got 90 but I don’t understand why.
In the first question I was asked to mark the
sentence in the PRESENT PERFECT TENSE,so I did it.
But the correct one was the sentence in the Past
Tense. How come?

Sonia1234

Benjamim, I redid the quiz and this time the first
question came out all right. PRESENT PERFECT.
( I’m kind of a Present Perfect freak because we
don’t have this tense of verb in my language, or rather, we do have, but that is a whole lot of a
differente story.)

Sonia1234

Thanks for the lesson!
But could you change the quiz a little?
The difference between Past Simple and Present Perfect is not shown.
Only the rules of grammar.

Hooligan

thank you ben!

SelenaL

Thank you teacher¡¡¡¡

RafaelMFlores

It´s a pretty good lesson but sometimes i do not feel comfortable when deciding to use present perfect or past tenses!!!

Arlindo Ferreira

present perfect , example… i have done my work.
past simple … i saw him.

Nice class. Thank you for the explanation. So, “Past Simple” would be more incomplete about the present situation, ins’t it? Thanks in advance!

Good 9/10. The last question was tricky. I didn’t know the past tense of shine which is shone but I thought it was shined.

sikadi franclin

i think the part in the past simple is a little difficult to understand,in the moment to convey the idea of prayer we are talking about so for future explication please give more examples! thanks!!

christy madrid

It doesn’t work for me?
Like, when Im trying to go to the next question, test want me to stay and don’t want me to let go when Im clicking in the button.
Maybe I have coolest user photo and question 1 is just jealous.
I’d be also Jealous if someone as cool as me was trying to go somewhere else.
But I don’t have this problem, lucky me.
So help me???

rosemyfiction

Asamisid

Teacher. I am a new member. Yesterday I had a exam.We needed to use the correct tense or form of Verb. There was a sentence that I couldn’t understand.’Jack WILL BE ready in a moment. He IS JUST FINISHING his breakfast’ Can you explain why we use the present progressive for that? or is it a wrong answer from my teacher?
