 Simple Past vs Present Perfect
hi!
I never really understood the difference between Simple Past and Present Perfect.
I, for myself, only use Present Perfect if I want to underline the result or the time spent on something (Present Perfect Progressive).
I took the "Simple Past vs. Present Perfect" test in the testing section but i'm still not clear about it...
"When you were living in London, have you ever tried jellied eels?" << Why is it wrong to say "have you ever tried" in that case?
"This is the first time I tried it." << What's wrong about this sentence?
and many others... as you can see, I don't get the whole system behind it (yet)...so plz help! :)
thank you very much!
