past present
we use the simple past tense to talk about what happened at a definite time in the past.

eddie has lives with millie for four years.
past present
we use the present perfect tense to talk about things that started in the past and are continued to the present.
we have known that hobo was very angry, because eddie has eaten his food. (eddie ate the food in the past and now hobo does not have anything to eat. )
we also use the present perfect tense to talk about things that happened in the past and have connection with the present.
step 4 drawing a conclusion
we make positive statements and negative statements using the present perfect tense like this:
have /has (+not) + past participle
we usually use these forms when we speak: hasn’t = has not, haven’t = have not
look up the past participles in the dictionary if necessary. there is also a table of irregular verbs on page 112.
