PAST SIMPLE PRESENT PERFECT

Form: we add “ed” to all regular verbs, Form: has/have + past participle
Irregular verbs must be learnt by heart. We use the present perfect for an action in the past
with a result now or when we talk about a time from
the past until now.
We use the Past Simple for something in the
past which is finished. I’ve lost my glasses. (I can’t find them now)
I’ve been to Spain, but I haven’t been to Portugal.
He played tennis yesterday.
The children went to the park this morning. We use: hasn’t/haven’t + past participle for negatives:

We use “did” to make questions and “didn’t” John hasn’t seen the film.
for negatives. The verb stays in the base
form. We use: has/have + subject + past participle for
questions:
Did you see Bob yesterday? Have you seen Jane today?
They didn’t come to the party on Sunday .
