To review the past simple, present perfect simple and present perfect continuous. • The uses of the past simple • To refer to actions started and finished in the past. • Why did BT decide to introduce Options 2000? • To refer to a definite time in the past • Well, we started looking at flexible working back in 1993. • The uses of present perfect simple • To refer to actions started in the past but unfinished. • The company’s been organized around business units for some time now.
To refer to an indefinite time in the past. • We’ve invested a lot of time and money. • To refer to past action with present consequences. • What effect has this had on company structure? • To refer to recent actions. • In fact, we have just implemented a new training program.
The uses of present perfect continuous. • To refer to actions started in the past and continuing into the future. • They’ve been working a lot longer days. • To refer to repeated or continuous actions tin the past with present consequences. • We’ve been developing a project-orientated culture so people are now paid for what they actually do.
The fundamental differences between the three forms. • The past simple is used to talk about completed actions and facts related to past time. Both forms of the present perfect contain the idea of a link between past and present time and in some cases it is possible to use either form. • He’s worked here for three years. • He’s been working here for three years.
However, there is a difference in emphasis between the two: the present perfect simple focuses on the completion or result of an activity （the product） whereas the present perfect continuous focuses on the continuity of an activity（the process） . • I’ve written the sales report. • I’ve been writing letters. • The continuous form of the present perfect is not possible with certain verbs. • The new manager has arrived. √ • The new manager has been arriving. ×
