Explanation:
English learners. This page gives you some advice on when to use it.
Compare these two sentences:
“I went to London in 2010.”
“I have been to London.”
The first sentence is in the Past Simple tense. We use the Past Simple for events and situations which are finished. Often there is a time reference, such as “in 2010”, or “last year”, for example. The focus of the sentence is on the past.
The second sentence is in the Present Perfect tense. We use the Present Perfect for actions and situations which are in the past (or which start in the past) but which have a connection with the present.
For example, if I say “I have been to London”, the connection is that I can remember this experience now. The focus of the sentence is on my experience – not when it happened.
