Informasi waktu (time) pada simple past mungkin spesifik, seperti: last night, this morning, dan on Sunday; sedangkan pada present perfect mungkin tidak dengan menggunakan indefinite time expression seperti: already, just, dan recently.
Contoh:
| simple past tense | I submitted my resignation letter yesterday. (Saya mengirimkan surat pengunduran diri kemarin.) |
|---|---|
| present perfect tense | I have already submitted my resignation letter. (Saya sudah mengirimkan surat pengunduran diri.) |
For atau since sama-sama dapat ditambahkan pada kedua tense tersebut, dimana pada simple past penambahan preposition tersebut menandakan bahwa aksi telah selesai, sementara pada present perfect berarti aksi belum selesai.
Contoh:
| simple past tense | He worked with me for nearly three years. (Dia bekerja dengan saya selama hampir tiga tahun.) dia tidak bekerja disini sekarang |
|---|---|
| present perfect tense | He has worked with me for nearly three years. (Dia telah bekerja dengan saya selama tiga tahun.) dia masih bekerja disini |
Interrogative sentence (kalimat pertanyaan) pada simple past biasanya menggunakan pronoun “when”, sementara pada present perfect menggunakan “how long”.
Contoh:
| simple past tense | When did they arrive here? Two days ago. (Kapan mereka tiba disini?) |
|---|---|
| present perfect tense | How long have they been here? They’ve been here for two days. (Berapa lama mereka telah berada disini?) |
