Present perfect vs Past simple

We use the present perfect to talk about an experience at any time in the past. The exact time it happened is not inportant.

Have you ever tried herring?

We use the past simple to talk about a specific occasion in the past.

I talked to my friend last night.

Signal words

To identify the past simple look for time expressions. Last night, yesterday, two weeks ago, in 2020, etc.
