TaceJune 2019 User,
Please visit this link. Read down. The answer by Matt might help you! Apparently, these tenses are a point of confusion to many Russian speakers of English.

User_341521June 2019 But some words in Russian sound the same. For example: I came 'Я пришел' ( Past Simple) - I have come 'Я пришел' ( Present Perfect). Here is confusing. But anyway, thanks for the answer, and good luck in learning Russian
BerlusconiJuly 2019 I'm going to be short. First, use the pres. Perf with this acronym, JEANY. J for just, E for ever, A for already, N for never and Y for never. J: Paul has just gone home. E: Have you ever seen a ghost?/ Bob is the funniest friend I've ever had. A: I have already done dishes. N: We have never worked together. Y: Have you done dishes yet?/ I haven't done dishes yet.
Second use the Pres. Perf. with 'for' and 'since' to answer the question 'How long'. It means an activity which began in the past and continues now. How long have you been a physician? I've been a physician for 14 years. I've been a physician since 2005. |
User_341521July 2019 About "How long?" Sometimes Present Perfect Continuous is also used here. Could you also explain the difference between these times? I want to see an explanation from a native speaker. And thanks for the acronym)
