Do you get confused about when to say I sat or I have sat, I ate or I have eaten and other sentences like these?

Is it necessary to use time expressions/ adverbs of frequency to talk about routines in Simple Present tense? Is there any difference between an activity and a routine?

Let me know if this helps. Also, we offer individual lessons. You can find more about that at the link in our description or on the "about" page. Best wishes!

Hello, thanks for lesson. Could you answer please, why i can`t say - "I had a headache since yesterday"? Or why I can`t say - "I was cooking today since 5 o`clock" or "It was really cold here lately" and "I never saw anything like that before". - these senteces are clear for understanding, if it so, why should i use perfect tense, if it`s more easy to use past simple with words like since,yet, and other words like.

Hi Tarana. I am an English teacher. I would say roughly this is correct for some instances of use of Present Perfect. For instances when we are interested in the result. I don't know why teacher Tanya thinks this is wrong. And this is exactly what she was trying to explain actually. I think you've summarized it in this way and it is correct. Well done Tarana! I am not a native speaker and it's easier for me to see where students have problems with grammar.
