Present perfect
Vs.
Simple past
O present perfect é usado quando o o período de tempo NÃO
TERMINOU ainda:
Exemplo:
 I have seen three movies this week.
(Eu vi três fimes esta semana.)
(Esta semana não terminou ainda.)

O simple past é usado quando o período de tempo JÁ

TERMINOU:
Exemplo:
 I saw three movies last week.
(Eu vi três filmes semana passada.)
(A semana passada já acabou.)
O present perfect geralmente é usado para dar notícias recentes:
 Martin has crashed his car again.
(Martin bateu seu carro de novo.)
(Esta é uma notícia recente.)

O simple past é usado para dar informações antigas:

 Martin crashed his car last year.
(Martin bateu seu carro ano passado.)
(esta é uma informação antiga.)
O present perfect é usado quando o tempo não é específico:
 I have already seen that movie.
(Eu já vi aquele filme.)
(Não é mencionado quando o filme foi visto.)

O simple past é usado quando o o tempo é específico e

claro:
 I saw that movie on Thursday.
(Eu vi aquele filme na quinta-feira.)
(Sabemos exatamente quando o filme foi visto.)
 O present perfect é usado com for e since, quando as ações
não terminaram ainda:
 I have lived in Brasília for five years.
(Eu moro em Brasília a cinco anos.)
(Eu ainda moro em Brasília.)

O simple past é usado com for e since, quando as ações

já terminaram:
 I lived in Brasília for five years.
(Eu morei em Brasília por cinco anos.)
(Eu não moro mais em Brasília.)
Também usamos o Present Perfect para falar sobre
um tempo impreciso no passado mas no momento
que ele se torna preciso, o mudamos para o Past
Simple.

Example:
I've never been to Australia. Have you ever been
there?
Yes I have. I went in 1992.
(Eu nunca fui a Austrália. Você já foi lá? Sim. Eu fui
em 1992.)
