    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.
    We use: hasn’t/haven’t + past participle for negatives:
     The children went to the park this morning.
     John hasn’t seen the film.
    We use “did” to make questions and “didn’t” 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.
