1 Using the Present Perfect here

suggests that this is recent news and

used

Columbus discovered America in 1492.

2 Although the use of the Past Simple is

correct here, the sentence sounds

incomplete without a time reference

Man first walked on the moon in 1969.

3 Using the Past Simple suggests the

speaker is dead, which is

impossible The Present Perfect is

correct

4 Using the Present Perfect suggests

that this is a completed

action Learning a language is not a

5 I’m hot because I’ve been running.

Here, the emphasis is on the result of the activity, not on

the fact that the action of running is completed

Simple when we want to emphasize the completed action,

that Diana and her boyfriend Dodi could

live together on a

tropical island; a plot by a member of the

Diana, (by tampering with the car’s

brakes), so that Charles,

the Prince of Wales could marry again
