Recap of Present Simple. Explanation of Present Perfect. 

Song analysis. 

Is this sentence correct:
I have lived in England 2 years ago

RIGHT

WRONG

Just to see where you are at.  I haven't explained it yet, so don't worry if you don't know.  What do you think? 

- this is a common mistake.  

- It happened in the past 

- Is it relevant today? Can you see the result today? 

- Should use PAST SIMPLE: I lived in England 2 years ago. 

IF it is not definite you can use it.  This example, time has stopped.  

There are lots of rules, you will see them in your book. BUT i really want you remember this one.  I think it is THE MOST common mistake for Dutch speakers.  So remember:

- I HVAE LIVED IN ENGLAND. (you may live there again, your still alive, it's not definite). 

- OR, if it is still happening:  

Is this sentence correct:
I have lived in Voorburg for 10 years

RIGHT

WRONG

John has lived in China in 2019.
Ellen has lived in China for 2 years.
Who is still living in China?

Subject   +    HAVE/HAS    +     Past participle (verb + 'ed)

 - Happened at some point in the past and still happening today 

- Happened at some point in the past and not important when 

- Happened in the past and can see the result today 

I have lived in England 2 years ago. 

I have lived in Voorburg for 10 years
