lesson 3: a closer look 2
I. Grammar: past simple and present perfect
Listen again to part of the conversation. Underlined the past simple or the present perfect.
The past form describes a single, completed action at a particular time in the past.
Yuki lived in Tokyo for ten years. (she doesn’t live there now.)
I met my friend Jack six years ago. (My sister introduced us. )
Roger arrived at 11:00. (He appeared at the office at a specific time. )
The present perfect can describe an action that began in the past but continues into the present.
Yuki has lived in San Francisco for three months. (she left Tokyo three months ago. She came to San Francisco to live, and she lives there now.)
I have known my friend Jack for six years. (I met him in the past, and I continue to know him and have him as a friend. )
Roger has been here for two hours. (He arrived at the office at 11:00. It is now 1:00, and he is still here. )
