Past simple

Use We use the past simple for actions that started and ended in the past. Usually there is a very specific time indication in past simple sentences.

• Last year I travel(l)ed to Japan. 
• He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at 10:00 this morning.

Examples of affirmative sentences

• - I worked really hard last year (work)
• - I was in London last year.  (be) 
• - We saw this film last night. (see)
• - They bought the same dress yesterday. (buy)

Examples of negations

• - I did not/didn't work hard last year (work)
• - I was not/wasn't in London last year.  (be)
• - We did not see/didn't see this film last night. (see)
• - They did not buy/didn't buy the same dress yesterday.
•    (buy)

Examples of interrogative sentences

• - Was I in London last year?  (be)
• - Did we see this film last night ?(see)
• - Did they buy the same dress yesterday? (buy)
• - Did I work  hard last year? (work)

In short

Regular (ww+ed) and irregular (change in form s.a. in buy-bought)

 I worked really hard last year (work)
 vs. I was in London last year. (be) 

Negations (x) /interrogatives (?): 'did (not) + verb' if there is no form of 'to be'. Otherwise 'was/were (not) + verb'

I did not/didn't work hard last year (work)
vs. I was not/wasn't in London last year. (be)

Used to / would + verb

Use: Past simple construction used to describe an action (handeling) that frequently/occasionally took place in the past, but not anymore.*

I used to be / would be a lot less confident when I was younger. 

 Luckily, my self-esteem has grown over time.

I didn't use to like brussels sprouts, but now I do (negation).

* In case of a situation/circumstance in the past (rather than an action) we  only use 'used to'  and not 'would'

Present perfect

We’ve played tennis for over three hours and I'm still not tired.

I have studied since 2 o'clock and I need a break.

Be careful! Dad has just painted the door.

We haven't beaten that team yet.

Present perfect

Uses: 

• - When an action has started in the past and is still ongoing at present (for/since + time indication, how long..)
  
  
• - When an action has just finished but you want to emphasise that it took place for quite some time in the (near) past / the result is still noticeable.
   

! Pay attention to words s.a. not (yet), already, just !

Examples of affirmatives, negations and interrogatives

• - My father has lived in Rome for two years. (live)
• - My father has not lived in Rome for two years. (live)
• - Has my father lived in Rome for two years? (live)
