- Recent past actions: She has just finished her exam.
- Actions continuing to now: I have studied English for 3 years.
- News/Announcements: The president has arrived.

6. Present Perfect vs Simple Past
Simple Past: action finished at a specific time in the past (yesterday, last week, in 2020)
Present Perfect: action with connection to now (no specific time, experience, recent)
