Past simple vs Present perfect

The past simple tense is used to describe actions or events that happened and were completed at a specific time in the past.

The present perfect tense is used to talk about actions or events that are connected to the present in some way. It focuses on the result or completion of the action rather than the specific time when it happened. It is often used with time expressions like recently, already, yet, just, etc.
