AND 

pay attention to the 

difference between 

Present Perfect Simple

and

Simple Past:

-The past simple is used to talk about actions in the past that have finished. It talks about 'then' and definitely excludes 'now'.

-The present perfect simple to look back on actions in the past from the present. It always includes 'now'.

-We use time expressions like 'yesterday', 'ago', 'last year', 'in 1999' with the past simple.

-We use time expressions like are 'ever', 'never', 'since' [and 'for', 'How long...?'] with the present perfect.
