C Specific and non-specific time
If we need to mention the specific time when something happened, we use
the simple past, not the simple perfect:
Wrong: I have spoken to her yesterday.
Right: I spoke to her yesterday.
Similarly, with expressions such as on Monday, in 2007, at 3.30, ets. (see Unit 4), or with questions beginning When…? and How long ago…?, we use the simple past and not the present perfect.
D Just
The present perfect is often used with the word just to talk about actions that have taken place very recently. The exact time is not mentioned:
I’m sorry, Mrs. Smith is not here. She has just left.
E Been and gone
Notice the difference between has been and has gone:
I’m afraid Mr. Smith is not here at the moment. He has gone to a meeting in London. (He is steel at the meeting.)
Amanda has been to the travel agent. She has your tickets for Hong Kong. (She went to the travel agent and has returned.)
