Hello. Now I’m going to explain for you some differences between The Simple Past
and The Present Perfect. First, I’m gonna talk about The Simple Past.

SIMPLE PAST

The simple past is used to talk about something that happened in the past. It refers
a specific event in the past.
For example:
Now, we are studying English. So, tomorrow when remembered this day. I will tell:
yesterday, we studied English.
I saw a movie with my guys last weekend.

Time expresses

Pay attention: on the regular verbs you add ED, but on the irregular verbs there
are several ending.
Live – lived
Visit – visited
Go – went
Make – made.

For example:

Did you go out last night?
 PRESENT PERFECT

You can use the present perfect for actions that happened some time in the past.
It refers an indefinite time in the past. The present perfect is formed with the
verb have more the past participle.

You can use just, yet and already on the statements. / for and since.

Form

Use of the Present Perfect

1. Expresses the idea that something happened before now, at an unspecified time
in the past. The exact time it happened is not important.
2. Expresses the repetition of an activity before now. The exact time of each
repetition is not important.
3. When you used for or since, expresses a situation that began in the past and
continues to the present.

Yet and already / for and since

Yet and already are usually used on statements.

You must use yet in negatives statements and questions. So, already is used in
affirmative sentences.

For example:

present.
