1. Present perfect vs simple past

2. Present perfect: When do we use it? To talk about experiences  Have you ever fallen down the stairs? To talk about actions that started in the past and continue in the present  I’ve lived in Constantina for three years. To talk about recently finished actions  I’ve just finished the exercise on present perfect. To talk about a past action that has a present result  I’ve broken my leg.

3. Simple past: When do we use it? To talk about actions that happenend in the past and that are finished. This action could be a single action or an action that happened during a period. IT DOESN’T MATTER. THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THE ACTION IS FINISHED:  I woke up at 7:00 o’clock (single action)  I lived in Córdoba for five years (period of time)
