3.  We use the present perfect to talk about:
 1 an experience in someone’s lifetime, without
saying the exact time when the event occured.
‘ I have travelled around Europe’.
 2 recent events which have a result in the
present.
 3 actions or situations that began in the past but
continue in the present. ‘Mark’s lived here for
10 years’.

4. SUBJECT + HAVE/HAS + PAST
PARTICIPLE
‘She has bought a flat’

5. We use the past simple for actions or
experiences which happened at a specific
moment in the past, or actions which
started and finished in the past.
