2dbh.PAST SIMPLE OR PRESENT PERFECT?

2dbh. PAST SIMPLE or

PRESENT PERFECT?

 

It is extremely important to know the diference between the two tenses. Just to remind you the differences between them, I would point out two ideas: 

Present Perfect:   

              It is formed by: SUBJECT+ HAVE/HAS+ PAST PARTICIPLE

                 It is used to talk about actions that where done in the past but have a consequence in

                 the present. It is also used with adverbs of time like for/since/ever/never/before, etc. 

 

                 Example: 
                  
                 · I´m not hungry because I have eaten an apple before (ez naiz gose, lehen jan 

                   baitut sagar bat; sagarra jateak eragina du, orain nik goserik ez izatean).

Past simple: 

              It is formed by: SUBJECT+ PAST SIMPLE OF THE VERB

             It is used to talk about a completed action that happened in the past.

             Sometimes it is accompanied by adverbs of time like yesterday/last Monday/in 1999, etc. 

             (the action happened in the past and we are refering when it happened, contrary to the                          present perfect, with which we don´t make references to the time when the action 
             happened).

                Example:

               · I went to Catalunya in the summers of 1998 and 1999. (Noiz esaten duenez eta ekintza

                 bukatua denez, orainaldiarekin erlazionatzen ez dugunez,  Past Simple darabilgu).   

                         · I have been to Catalunya twice. (nire bizitza osoan bitan izan naiz, ez dut NOIZ                                     esaten eta horregatik erabiltzen da Present Perfect).
