Present perfect simple refers to:
Recent events, without a definite time given. The recentness may be
indicated by
just.
We've missed the turning. I've just seen a ghost!
Indefinite events, which happened at an unknown time in the past. No
definite time is given.
Jim has had three car accidents,
(up to the present)
Indefinite events which may have an obvious result in the present.
I've twisted my ankle,
(that's why I'm limping)
23
With
state verbs, a state which lasts up to the present.
I've lived here for the past ten years.
A habitual action in a period of time up to the present.
I've been jogging every morning for the last month.
Contrast with past simple
Past simple is used with time expressions which refer to definite times. The
time may be stated or understood. Compare:
I've bought a new car.
(indefinite)
I
bought the car after all.
(implied definite: the car we talked about)
Choice between past simple and present perfect for recent events may depend on the attitude of
the speaker. This in turn may depend on whether the speaker feels distant in time or place from
the event.
