比較一般過去時和現在完成時的異同

1. 共同點：動作都是在過去完成。

I saw the film yesterday evening.

I have seen the film before.

（看電影這件事都是在過去完成的。）

2. 區別：

現在完成時強調過去發生的動作對現在的影響和結果，而一般過去時與現在沒有聯繫，只是說明某個動作發生的時間是在過去。

一般過去時通常與具體明確的過去時間狀語連用。如yesterday, last week , two years ago，just now，in 2002 等；而現在完成時則常與 just ,already ,ever ,never 等模糊的過去時間狀語和 these days ,this week ,since..., for... 等表示一段時間的狀語連用。
