📝 Tips para entender el Present Perfect y el Past Simple

Truco 1:

Para formar el Present Perfect, utiliza el verbo auxiliar «have» o «has» seguido del participio pasado del verbo principal. Recuerda que «have» se utiliza con pronombres personales como «I», «you», «we» y «they», mientras que «has» se utiliza con pronombres personales como «he», «she» y «it». Por ejemplo: «I have studied» (He estudiado).

Truco 2:

El Present Perfect se utiliza para hablar de acciones o situaciones que comenzaron en el pasado pero que aún tienen relevancia o continúan en el presente. Ejemplos: «I have lived in this city for five years» (He vivido en esta ciudad por cinco años) o «She has worked in the company since 2010» (Ella ha trabajado en la compañía desde el 2010).

Truco 3:

Para formar el Past Simple, utiliza la forma pasada del verbo principal. En la mayoría de los verbos, esta forma se forma añadiendo «-ed» al final. Sin embargo, algunos verbos tienen formas irregulares. Por ejemplo, «walk» (andar) se convierte en «walked» en pasado simple, mientras que «go» (ir) se convierte en «went». Ejemplo: «I walked to the park yesterday» (Anduve al parque ayer) o «She went to the store last night» (Ella fue a la tienda anoche).
