Past simple vs Present Perfect

Present Perfect

= in verleden begonnen, maar niet afgelopen: present perfect

Past Simple

Ik heb 5 jaar in Frankrijk gewoond.

I lived in France for five years.

= verleden tijd, nu niet meer: past simple

Present Perfect

Form: to have & past participle (voltooid deelwoord)

-ed or irregular (3e vorm)

have gone

has seen

have given

has started

have worked

Use of Present Perfect

1. Something has started in the past and is still going on.
2. Something has happened in the past and has an effect on the present.
3. It is not important when something happened, so there is no indication of time.

Can you give examples of these uses?
