*GRAMMAR. Here you have explanations,
uses and diferences between PAST SIMPLE and PRESENT PERFECT.
"Past
simple" vs "Present perfect"
Gramática
Ambos tiempos describen acciones que tuvieron lugar
en el pasado, si bien presentan ciertas diferencias:
a) Past Simple
- Acción que se desarrolló y finalizó en el pasado,
sin que se de ninguna información sobre cual ha sido su repercusión en el
tiempo presente.
When I was
young I played tennis (no nos da ninguna infomación sobre si en la actualidad sigo jugando al
tenis o no)
- Acción que se desarrolló y completó en un periodo
de tiempo ya finalizado.
This morning I had a very tense meeting with my
boss (ya es por la tarde, la mañana ha finalizado)
Yesterday I went to the cinema with my friends
b) Presente Perfect
- Acción que se inició en el pasado y que aún
continúa desarrollándose.
I have worked in this bank for ten years (todavía continúo en el
banco)
- Acción que acaba de finalizar.
I have missed my train (lo acabo de perder)
- Acción que se ha desarrollado en un periodo de
tiempo que aún no ha terminado.
This morning I has had a very tense meeting with my boss (aún es por la mañana)
Today I have
visited my parents (el día
todavía no ha finalizado)
- Acción desarrollada en el pasado pero cuya
repercusión aún se manifiesta en el tiempo presente.
My brother has broken his glasses (las gafas se han roto recientemente y siguen
rotas)
Comparar con
la siguiente oración:
My brother
broke his glasses (no sabemos si las gafas ya
están arregladas o no)
Para terminar, señalar que en ocasiones las diferencias entre estos dos
tiempos no son muy nítidas, y de hecho en algunos casos cabría utilizar
cualquiera de ellos.
