Summary Tips
The focus is on the result, not the exact time. If you specify a time (like "yesterday"), you must use the Simple Past. Use the Present Perfect for things that still matter now!
Tricky Cases
Watch out for common mistakes when using Present Perfect. Pay close attention to subject-verb agreement and how different contexts can change the correct form. Some patterns might seem similar but have important differences.
Remember that context matters. The same sentence structure might work differently depending on whether you're talking about the past, present, or future, or whether you're making a statement or asking a question.
