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?
