Differences between Present Perfect and past simple

Since: Present perfect only is used before a point in time to describe when a present condition started : - We've been here since April Expressions with for: - hours (6:45) - last week - 2009 - elementary school (basically when that action started )

For: Present prefect and Past simple is used before a period of time to describe how long a present condition has been true: -We've been in NY for 3 months -We were in NY for 3 months Expressions with for: - two weeks - a few months - a long time - several days

Hi Juan How have you been?, We haven't had a touch for a long time, I remember that the last saw was the last vacation. Tell me what have you done all this time? In my case, I started to work in a school in January, And I have studied for a university exam since 3 months ago but I haven't felt prepared to present it yet...

Past simple

Principal differences

We use the past simple to refer to definite time in the past (when we specify the time or how long) and usually with past time expressions such as yesterday, two weeks ago, last year, in 1995:

• We met in January 1975. We went to America together in 1978.
• Not: We have met in January 1975. We have gone to America together in 1978.

Present Perfect

Principal Differences

we use the present perfect to talk about time up to now, that is, events that took place in the past but which connect with the present. The present perfect is often used with time expressions which indicate time up to now, for example, today, this year, in the last six months:

• I haven’t seen her since January 1995.
• Not: I didn’t see her since January 1995.
