With the present perfect tense, however, you imply (or hint) that in addition to Warsaw, you also went to other places, like Krakow, Łódź, and Wrocław. Example: "I have gone to Warsaw this year, but I also visited Krakow, Łódź, and Wrocław." | |
| Jul 3, 2013 at 14:00 | comment | added | user5323 | Thank you very much for your comment! I've understood (a) is simple past. Then, what do you think of "this year." In the example (a), "I" am still in "this year." Also, in the example (b), "I" am still in "this yer." Is it possible (or natural) to use "this year" in a sentence whose tense is simple past or present perfect? | |
