Soal Simple Past vs. Present Perfect Tense
Simple Past dan Present Perfect Tense
Present perfect tense digunakan untuk membicarakan aksi yang telah dimulai di masa lampau (baru-baru ini atau sudah lama) dan terhubung dengan masa kini (masih berlangsung atau efeknya dapat dirasakan di masa kini).
Berbeda dengan dengan present perfect, simple past tense mendeskripsikan aksi yang telah rampung (completed actions) atau situasi di masa lampau (past situation) tanpa menghubungkannya dengan masa kini.Lihat juga:

Contoh:
| simple past tense | My uncle came last week. (Paman saya datang minggu lalu.) |
|---|---|
| present perfect tense | My uncle has come. (Paman saya sudah datang) baru-baru ini; sekarang dia ada disini |
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?) |
