    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:

    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.
