This is how well I did in the Mixed Tenses Exercise:

I scored 70% or more correct.

I scored 60-70% correct.

I scored less than 60% correct.

I could use more explanation on these verb tenses:

Past Simple:

• verb + ed/irr verbs 2nd form
• did + subject + verb.....?
• did not + verb

Use:

• when an action took place in the past and is now over
• with LADY words

Present Perfect:

• has/have + past participle
• has/have + subject + past participe + ....?
• has/have + not + past participle

Use:

• for actions that started in the past and are still going on
• cause (present perfect) > effect (present simple) 
• with FYNE JAS and BECAUSE/SINCE/FOR/AS
