Episode Synopsis "21. Where to use Present Simple Tense and where to use Present Perfect Tense?"

Present Simple Tense talks about how something or someone is while Present Perfect Tense tells you how something has been for a while. For example: I am in Simla vs I have been in Simla for a week. Sushil is the president vs Sushil has been the president for two years. Simple Present (I am in Simla) states how or what something is while Present Perfect with been (I have been in Simla for a week) states for how long has a situation existed. Usual rules of for (duration of time - for two hours, for a week, for five years) and since (starting point - since 1980, since 2 pm, since school days) apply. www.BodhiSutra.com | +91-11-41170801/41170802
