Past Simple and Present Perfect (Part 1) - By Smrt English



Transcript
00:03 Let's talk about the past , simple and present .
00:05 Perfect . The past simple is , uh , tool
00:08 we use to express the finished past . The finish
00:11 means that it's over , so look at this example
00:13 . My great grandfather worked in many high class restaurants
00:17 . He's my great grandfather , my grandfather's father .
00:19 So he's probably not alive anymore . That means the
00:22 events are finished or I worked in that restaurant for
00:26 three years . That means I don't work there anymore
00:28 , and I probably won't work there again . It's
00:30 finished , but with the present perfect , we could
00:34 talk about things that began in the past or at
00:36 some part in the past that still have an effect
00:38 on the present . For example , I've worked in
00:41 many fine restaurants . This means I did it in
00:43 the past , but there's a chance I'll probably do
00:45 it again , or I might be doing it right
00:47 now . Now , look at these examples of the
00:50 past simple in the past , perfect to get an
00:52 idea of what we mean . I cut my finger
00:55 . This'll means that at some point before I cut
00:57 my finger . But it's probably okay now , but
01:00 if I say in the present perfect , I've cut
01:03 my finger . That means it's probably still being cut
01:06 . It might be bleeding . He bought a cup
01:09 of coffee . This means before he bought a coffee
01:11 , but he probably or might not have it now
01:13 . But if I say he's bought a cup of
01:15 coffee , that means he's probably got it in his
01:17 hands or with him . Now one of the main
01:21 differences between the past . Simple in the past .
01:23 Perfect is when we use it to express the difference
01:26 between the definite and the indefinite Past definite means something
01:30 that we clearly know or is easy to see ,
01:33 where indefinite is less clear . So , for example
01:36 , we met two years ago . That's a definite
01:39 time in the past two years ago , but we
01:42 have met . That just means that sometime before now
01:44 we met . He went to France last year .
01:48 That's a definite period of time . He has been
01:50 to France , the present perfect means at some point
01:53 before . Now he's been there . Did you eat
01:56 sushi last night ? A definite time last night .
01:59 Have you eaten ? Sushi is asking . Do you
02:01 have the experience ? I'm not interested in when Just
02:04 did you have Okay . Now often we use the
02:07 present perfect to introduce the indefinite past . And then
02:11 we'll use past simple to give details about that time
02:14 . So look at this example . I have seen
02:16 that movie , but I didn't like it very much
02:19 . The have seen is present perfect . That's telling
02:21 me telling you that I had the experience , but
02:24 that didn't like it is the details . Why I
02:26 didn't that I didn't like it . Yes , I've
02:28 seen it , but I didn't really like it .
02:31 She has been to Thailand , but she didn't go
02:33 to Bangkok . So the present perfect has been is
02:36 introducing the indefinite past . Where I went , she
02:38 went to Thailand . But the simple the details she
02:41 didn't go to that city are in past simple Now
02:45 . I have never really tried skydiving . I almost
02:47 did once and went up in an airplane . But
02:49 I didn't have enough courage to jump . So the
02:52 in depth , the present perfect , the indefinite past
02:54 . I've never really tried skydiving . Then the did
02:57 the went up and didn't have those air all details
03:00 in the past . Simple . In the next video
03:02 , we'll talk about some common adverbs that we use
03:04 with past , simple and present perfect . Thanks for
03:07 watching , and I'll see you next time
