Present perfect or past simple?

Exercise 4

Fill in the gaps with the correct present perfect or past simple forms of the verbs in brackets.

Present perfect or past simple?

Past events or experiences

Present perfect: it's not important when something happened

We use the present perfect to talk about recent events or about people's experiences when the time when these events happened is not important and we don't mention it.

I've been to Malaysia. (When is not important. The important thing is that I have this experience now.)

Past simple: we say or ask when something happened

We use past simple to talk about completed actions in the past. We often say or ask when these actions happened.

We have been to Malaysia last year.

We went to Malaysia last year.

She won three gold medals at the last Olympic Games.

When break your arm?did you

In conversation

We often start a conversation about recent events or people's experiences using the present perfect, but if we continue talking or asking about the details of that event, we use the past simple.

I do judo, and I've won some competitions. In fact, I've won two medals. I got the first one in Singapore in 2002. The second one was different. It was in Tokyo, and I was older.

Duration with how long, for and since

We use the present perfect with how long, for, since to talk about actions or situations that started in the past and still continue or are still true now.

We use the past simple with how long, for, since to talk about actions or situations that started and finished in the past. Compare:

He lived in New York for ten years. (=He does NOT live in New York now)

Past continuous and past simple

Exercise 1

Choose the correct past continuous and past simple forms to complete the sentences below.

The past continuous - Form

The past continuous - Use

Actions in progress

We use the past continuous to talk about actions that were in progress (not finished) at a specific moment in the past.

'What were you doing at 9?' 'I was studying.'

The specific moment in the past can be described by a time expression (at 9 a.m., at midday, at lunchtime, all morning, all day, etc.):

Or by a simple past sentence:

Describing a scene

We often use the past continuous at the beginning of a story to describe the situation.

Past simple vs Past continuous

We use the past simple for completed actions in the past, and we use the past continuous for actions in progress (not finished) in the past.

The past continuous describes a longer action or situation and the past simple describes a shorter action or event.

When I met Susan she was having a drink at a terrace with a friend.

We didn't go out because it was raining.

The short action in past simple often interrupts the longer action in past continuous.

We use the past simple for completed actions that happened one after the other. Compare:

(The action of having a shower started before he arrived)

(The action of having a shower started after he arrived)

1 _______________ in the morning
At the diner on the corner
2 _______________ at the counter
For the man to pour the coffee

And he fills it only halfway
And before I even argue
3 _______________ out the window
At somebody coming in

"It is always nice to see you"
Says the man behind the counter
To the woman who has come in
4 _______________ her umbrella

And I look the other way
As 5 _______________ their hellos
And 6 _______________ not to see them
And instead I pour the milk

And 7 _______________ to the horoscope
And looking for the funnies
When 8 _______________ someone watching me
And so I raise my head

Oh, this rain, it will continue
Through the morning as 12 _______________
To the bells of the cathedral
13 _______________ of your voice

Suzanne Vega
Suzanne Nadine Vega is an American singer-songwriter best known for her folk-inspired music. Vega's music career spans almost 40 years. She came to prominence in the mid-1980s, releasing four singles that entered the Top 40 charts in the UK during the 1980s and 1990s, including "Marlene on the Wall", "Left of Center", "Luka" and "No Cheap Thrill". "Tom's Diner", which was originally released as an a cappella recording on Vega's second studio album, Solitude Standing (1987), was remixed in 1990 as a dance track by English electronic duo DNA with Vega as featured artist, and it became a Top 10 hit in over five countries. The original a cappella recording of the song was used as a test during the creation of the MP3 format. The role of her song in the development of the MP3 compression prompted Vega to be given the title of "The Mother of the MP3".

Μέχρι τις 22 Φεβρουαρίου αναμένεται να διαρκέσουν οι Χειμερινοί Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες 2026, που φέτος διοργανώνονται σε Μιλάνο και Κόρτινα αντίστοιχα, με την τελετή έναρξης να είναι προγραμματισμένη για την ερχόμενη Παρασκευή (6/2).

Οι φετινοί Χειμερινοί Ολυμπιακοί αγώνες είναι γνωστοί και ως Μιλάνο Κορτίνα 2026, με την Ελληνική Ολυμπιακή Επιτροπή να ανακοινώνει την ελληνική αποστολή που θα ταξιδέψει στην Ιταλία.

Η Ελλάδα, στους φετινούς Χειμερινούς Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες, θα εκπροσωπηθεί από πέντε αθλητές και αθλήτριες σε Δρόμους Αντοχής και Αλπικό Σκι.

Χειμερινοί Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες 2026: Αναλυτικά η ελληνική αποστολή

Στους Δρόμους Αντοχής, ο Απόστολος Αγγέλης θα αγωνιστεί στα 20 χλμ (10 κλασική + 10 ελεύθερη τεχνική), στο Ατομικό Σπριντ Κλασικής Τεχνικής και στα 10 χλμ Ελεύθερης Τεχνικής.

Η Κωνσταντίνα Χαραλαμπίδου θα συμμετάσχει στα 10 χλμ Ελεύθερης Τεχνικής και στο Ομαδικό Σπριντ Ελεύθερης Τεχνικής, ενώ η Νεφέλη Τίτα θα αγωνιστεί επίσης στα 10 χλμ Ελεύθερης Τεχνικής και στο Ομαδικό Σπριντ.

Στο Αλπικό Σκι, η Μαρία Ελένη Τσιόβολου θα λάβει μέρος στη Γιγαντιαία Τεχνική Κατάβαση και στην Τεχνική Κατάβαση, ενώ ο Αλέξανδρος Γκιννής θα αγωνιστεί στην Τεχνική Κατάβαση και θα είναι ο σημαιοφόρος της ελληνικής ομάδας στην τελετή έναρξης.

Χειμερινοί Ολυμπιακοί Αγώνες 2026: Ποιοι άλλοι θα είναι κοντά στην ελληνική αποστολή

Τους αθλητές θα συνοδεύσουν οι προπονητές Τιμολέων Τσουρέκας και Χρήστος Τίτας (Δρόμοι Αντοχής), καθώς και οι Florian Putz και Κωνσταντίνος Συκαράς (Αλπικό Σκι). Αρχηγός της αποστολής είναι ο Δημοσθένης Γυρούσης, με υπαρχηγό τον Στράτο Καρέτο και διοικητικό προσωπικό τον Αλέξανδρο Κανδύλη.

Ο Δημοσθένης Γυρούσης, Πρόεδρος της Επιτροπής Ολυμπιακής Προετοιμασίας και Αρχηγός της ελληνικής αποστολής, συνεχάρη τους αθλητές, υπογραμμίζοντας ότι "η παρουσία σας στη μεγαλύτερη παγκόσμια αθλητική διοργάνωση αποτελεί ύψιστη τιμή και μια εμπειρία ζωής". Παράλληλα, τόνισε ότι η ΕΟΕ θα βρίσκεται στο πλευρό τους, διασφαλίζοντας τις καλύτερες δυνατές συνθήκες ώστε να επικεντρωθούν αποκλειστικά στην αγωνιστική τους προσπάθεια.

Στο πλευρό της ομάδας κατά τη διάρκεια των Αγώνων θα βρίσκονται επίσης ο Πρόεδρος της ΕΟΕ Ισίδωρος Κούβελος και ο Γενικός Γραμματέας Στέφανος Χανδακάς.

In our neighbourhood lately,There is being a mysterious graffiti team,that they keep drawing on walls and they keep ruining the beauty on our streets.

In our opinion we should paint the walls again and put cameras on the streets so we can spot the graffiti team and arrest them.
