• Breathe 
• Run 

Practice +, -, ? in the present perfect: 

• To be
• Watch
• Catch  

When  to use which?

• Past Simple = The action is finished.  It is important when it happened. Look out for words such as: Yesterday, in 2020, when I was little, last night, this morning......  
• Present Perfect = not important when it happened. Has some connection to today. Look out for words such as: just, lately, recently, since, yet 

For example: 

• I have been to Spain 4 times.  (The connection is that I am still alive and may go again. The number could still increase).
• I went to Spain in 2020 (This event has finished. I went there, 2020 is  over. )
