¿Cuál es la diferencia entre el pasado simple y el presente perfecto?

Use the simple past when the action started in the past, finished in the past, and is not continuing now. Use the present perfect when the action started in the past and is continuing now. The simple past tells us that an action happened at a certain time in the past, and is not continuing anymore...:)

El pasado simple es un tiempo verbal que se usa para hablar sobre cosas que sucedieron o existieron antes.

El tiempo presente perfecto se refiere a una acción o estado que ocurrió en un tiempo indefinido en el pasado o comenzó en el pasado y continuó hasta el presente.
