What is difference?

[Natalka]

Hi! Sometimes I mixed up Past Simple and Present Perfect. I know something about them, but it doesn't help me. So, what is difference between "I saw this movie" and "I have seen this movie". Thanks.

Hello Natalka,

This is a very common question, and you can find thousands of explanations if you google Present Perfect vs Past Simple.
You can also search in this forum's archives.

To answer your question succintly, there's no difference in meaning between the two sentences, but they are used in different contexts.

I'll send you a private message with an explanation in Russian.

Best wishes.
