iv)
Present Perfect or Simple Past Depends on whether the event is still connected with the past, or it is completed. When you use past, you mean the event as finished in the past, mostly used along with time eg., in 1997, this morning, last night, etc., With Present Perfect, you mean the event started in past, but still connected with present eg., I have lived here for 2 years. (you started living before 2 years and still continue
living there) Announcing news: Experience: I have passed the exam I have been to Singapore Have you ever been to Singapore? Recent past: I have just finished the report I have not finished yet. We often use, yet, still, just, recently with this type of sentences If you are reporting something told by somebody in past tense.
