Phân biệt Present Perfect Tense và Simple Past Tense

PHÂN BIỆT THÌ HIỆN TẠI HOÀN THÀNH VÀ THÌ QUÁ KHỨ ĐƠN

I. Phân biệt thì thì hiện tại hoàn thành (Present Perfect) và quá khứ đơn (Past Simple)

Thì hiện tại hoàn thành	Thì quá khứ đơn
- Diễn tả hành động gần đây đã diễn ra tại thời điểm không xác định trong quá khứ. Eg: I have bought a new computer (We don’t know when he bought it => không xác định được thời điểm) - Diễn tả hành động đã xảy ra trong quá khứ và tiếp tục kéo dài đến hiện tại.	- Diễn tả hành động đã kết thúc tại thời điểm xác định trong quá khứ. Eg: I bought the computer two years ago (Two year ago => thời điểm đã được xác định) - Diễn tả hành động đã kết thúc trong quá khứ.
Dấu hiệu: ever, never, just, already, yet, so far, since, for, recently,…	Dấu hiệu: yesterday, last night/ week/ month/ year, ago, then, when, in 2019,….

=> I haven't seen him since I was a student. (tôi đã không thấy anh ta từ khi tôi là sinh viên)
