📝 Tips para entender el presente perfecto simple y pasado perfecto simple
1. Para formar el presente perfecto simple, utiliza el verbo auxiliar «have» seguido del participio pasado del verbo principal. Por ejemplo: «I have studied» (Yo he estudiado), «He has played» (Él ha jugado).
2. Recuerda que el presente perfecto simple se utiliza para hablar de acciones o experiencias que han ocurrido en un tiempo anterior no especificado, pero que tienen relevancia en el presente. Por ejemplo: «She has visited Spain» (Ella ha visitado España).
3. Para formar el pasado perfecto simple, utiliza el verbo auxiliar «had» seguido del participio pasado del verbo principal. Por ejemplo: «I had finished» (Yo había terminado), «They had seen» (Ellos habían visto).
4. Usa el pasado perfecto simple para hablar de acciones o experiencias que ocurrieron antes de un tiempo pasado específico. Por ejemplo: «She had already left when I arrived» (Ella ya se había ido cuando llegué).
5. Recuerda que tanto el presente perfecto simple como el pasado perfecto simple son tiempos verbales compuestos, por lo que siempre requieren un verbo auxiliar junto al participio pasado.
