Past Simple or Present Perfect?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

These 10 sentences, in which your learners choose the correct of two options for the verb, provide practice with the tricky, finer points of distinguishing when to use the past simple form or the present perfect. Learners click on a box next to the correct verb, and get feedback when finished by clicking done. Example: "I've been trying/I've tried to find a permanent job for a considerable time."
