PAST TENSE VS PRESENT PERFECT TENSE

Past tense

Past tense is used to describe actions that started and finished in the past and are not continuing. The simple past tense of a regular verb is formed by adding "-ed" to the root form of the verb for regular verb. Past tense has specific time such as yesterday, ago, in year, last week/month/year.


For example:

The sun rose at 6:00 am.

From this example, we know that the sun came up at a time in the past and it is not rising now. The sun may or may not be in the sky when this statement is made. The time is important to add.


Present perfect tense

Present perfect tense is used to describe actions that started in the past and are continuing or have present consequences. The present perfect tense is formed using the auxiliary verbs "have" or "has" and the past participle of the main verb.


For example:

The sun has risen.

From this example, we know that the sun already rise, and it is still in the sky now.
