Hello Cafetalk! I apologize for the delay in releasing this episode - I'm in the middle of packing!
Let's get to today's lesson:
You’ve lost something and need help. Should you use the Simple Past or Present Perfect? ??
Simple past: When something happened (completed action or situation) “I lost my phone this morning.”
Present perfect: Talking about something that just happened with a result you feel right now
“I’ve lost my phone.”
There are more situations in which we use the present perfect, but just remember this for now ??
