Present Perfect and Past Simple 2


We use the Present Perfect for a state which has gone on up to the present:

We have lived here for ten years.(=we still live here)

We use the Present Perfect for a period of time that continues until now. 
For example: today I this week I since 2010

Tom lives in Vancouver. He has lived there for six years.


Situations and states that started in the past and are still true.

It hasn’t rained this week.

I have played tennis hockey before.

Have you seen this week’s magazine? (it is still this week)


We use the Past Simple for a state in the past, in a period which is finished:

We lived there for ten years.
(=we don’t live here.)

We use the past simple for a finished time in the past.
For example: yesterday I last week I from 2010 to 2017.

Tom lived in Vancouver for seven years. Now he lives in Miami.


Completed actions:

lt didn't rain last week.

I played hockey at college.

Did you see last week’s magazine?
