Question

Analyze the statements about the Simple Past and Present Perfect tenses. Then, select the correct alternative:

I. We use the Simple Past only if there is the information of the day, month and year. To use the Present Perfect, the most important information is the year that the action happened.
II. The sentence “I have eaten a lot since Monday” has the same meaning as “I ate a lot on Monday”.
III. We use the Present Perfect when there is no information that the event is finished. For example: We have made a huge progress on this case”.

V. We use the Simple Past when we don’t want to say exactly when the action finished. For example: I drank wine for some years.
