When to Use Present Perfect and Past Simple (full lesson)

This is a longer video to help English learners understand when they should use present perfect tense and when they should use past simple tense.
First, I discuss some basic rules/guidelines for present perfect and past simple, and then I guide you through a worksheet that I used to use in the classroom with my students.

    Thank your for the best explaination. The key moment in choosing tense is the correspondence between two periods of time. Other teachers and textbooks never told me about this.

    Майк, я не слыхал ничего лучше, чем ваши уроки ! Вы тратите так много энергии, сил, чтобы донести до людей прекрасный язык : * берите! Я уже разжевал вам ( никто лучше меня не сделает этого) и проглотить! Но... Но. Надо и вам трудиться ! Так учитесь, лентяи.! ( это я в свой адрес). Спасибо вам!

    It generally doesn't make sense to say "I was ___ing many times." We use past continuous to say that one habit or action was continuing non-stop/repeatedly, so adding "many times" is strange.
