I’ve been excited all day. To talk about events from our life that have happened up until now. It doesn’t matter when they happened. He’s been in lots of plays. How is the present perfect different from the past simple? The past simple is to talk about actions that started AND finished in the past. I saw dad act in his first play 20 years ago.
