considerado aceptable el uso del pasado simple
en varios de estos ejemplos

15. Present Perfect Vs Simple Past
● Simple Past: se usa para hablar acerca de
acciones que sucedieron en el pasado y que ya
han concluido. Se habla sobre entonces (then)
y definitivamente excluye al ahora (now).
● Present Perfect: simplemente para hacer
memoria sobre acciones pasadas en el
presente. Siempre incluye el contexto ahora
('now').

16. Estas oraciones están hubicadas en el pasado
con ninguna conexión con el presente.

presente.

18. Diferenciarlos

'ever', 'never', 'since' con el presente perfecto.

20. Tipicamente las “time expressions” son usados
con el presente perfecto en “British English” pero
es muy usual el emplearlas con el pasado simple
en “American English” son 'already', 'just', 'yet'.
● I haven't done it yet. (UK)
