Simple Past And Present Perfect Tense🍃

hello, welcome to my blog again!

I hope you enjoy it!✨

The simple past, past simple or past indefinite, sometimes called the preterite, is the basic form of the past tense in Modern English. It is used principally to describe events in the past, although it also has some other uses. Regular English verbs form the simple past in -ed; however, there are a few hundred irregular verbs with different forms.

The term "simple" is used to distinguish the syntactical construction whose basic form uses the plain past tense alone, from other past tense constructions which use auxiliaries in combination with participles, such as the past perfect and past progressive.

Example: 

1. i washed my face last night 

2. i wanted to go to the zoo 

3. she had fried chicken for dinner last night 

The present perfect is a grammatical combination of the present tense and perfect aspect that is used to express a past event that has present consequences. The term is used particularly in the context of English grammar to refer to forms like "I have finished". The forms are present because they use the present tense of the auxiliary verb have, and perfect because they use that auxiliary in combination with the past participle of the main verb. (Other perfect constructions also exist, such as the past perfect.

Example: 

1. mikel has gone to the library

2. i have watched all Harry Potter movies several times 

3. he has seen the movie on cinema
