| Nov 13, 2013 at 3:41 | comment | added | user48070 | @WendiKidd What I am confused is that : If the present perfect expresses the idea that something happened (or never happened) before now,does it mean in the past? If so ,why not use the simple past? | |

| Nov 13, 2013 at 3:21 | comment | added | WendiKidd | I'm a bit confused. You refer to simple past, but present perfect, then define present perfect as occurring in the past, and then give an example that is indeed present. Which are you asking about, past or present perfect? | |
