PAST SIMPLE OR PRESENT PERFECT – A2

Put the verb in brackets into the past simple or present perfect.

Remember:

• Use the past simple with specific times in the past.


• Use the present perfect to say how many times, for past events with an effect on the present,
and with ‘ever’, ‘never’, ‘already’, ‘just’ and ‘yet’.

In some cases, both forms may be possible, but one is more natural in this situation.
