Intro

Due to Corona we aren't able to go abroad. But wouldn't you like to? 

Think of a country you would like to visit.

You will be put  in a group of 3. The other people in your group have to guess which country you're thinking of. However, you can only answer with yes or no!

Lesson aim

After this lesson, you should be able to:

> explain the differences between the Present perfect and Past simple.

Take a look at these sentences

A.I lived in Rotterdam when I was six years old.

B.I have lived in Rotterdam since I was six years old.

In welke zin woon je nog steeds in Rotterdam? --> Present Perfect

In welke zin woon je er niet meer?--> Past Simple

What are the differences between the Present perfect and Past simple?

• Unfinished action that started in the past and continue to the present
• Finished action with a result in the present
• With an unfinished time word (this week, this month, today)

• Finished action in the past
• Finished action with no result in the present
• With a finished time word (last week, last month, yesterday)

Present Perfect

Past Simple

Past Simple

We use the past simple for past events or actions which are all over and done with. There is no connection to the present. 

Present Perfect

We use the present perfect for actions that started in the past but are still connected/visible in  the present.
