  • Use the present perfect to refer to something that happened at some unspecified time before right now. Use the past simple for something that happened at some specified point in the past. Mar 17, 2020 at 21:13

  • Agree, difference is there, it's only about the way you present it, nothing else is different. Meaning in case remains same, so how you consider it as different?
