Past Simple vs Present Perfect

● We use the Present Perfect when we talk about something that happened in a period of time up to the present. We use the Past Simple to talk about something that happened at a particular, finished time in the past. Compare:

● 表示某事发生在过去并持续到现在，用现在完成时；表示在过去的某个特定的时间发生了某事并已经结束，用一般过去时，试比较：

● 当描述最近发明、生产、发现或书写了什么，用现在完成时；当描述相对久远的过去发明、生产、发现或书写了什么，用一般过去时。

● We can use either the Past Simple or the Present Perfect to talk about repeated actions or events. If we use the Present Perfect, we often suggest that the action or event might happen again. If we use the Past Simple, it suggests that it is finished and won’t happen again. Compare:

● 一般过去时和过去完成时均可用来描述反复发生的事件。用现在完成时，则表示该事件还有可能再次发生；用一般过去时，则表示该事件已经结束，不会再次发生，试比较：

● Time adverbs that refer to the present, such as today, this morning/week/month can also be used with either the Past Simple or the Present Perfect. If we see today, this morning/week/month as a past, completed period of time, then we use the Past Simple; if we see them as a period including the present moment, then we use the Present Perfect.

Appreciate the following article to learn more about the Present Perfect and the Past Simple.

New cycle routes have been built in and around the center of Birmingham and speed limits have been reduced on selected roads. The scheme has now been in operation for a year and has been hailed as a great success. Since the new speed limits were introduced, the number of accidents in the area has fallen dramatically. It only took six months to draw up the plans and mark the routes. This has been done in consultation with groups representing city cyclists. The success of the scheme has led to proposals for similar schemes in other cities.
