Explicação:
Simple Past (passado simples/pretérito): tempo verbal que serve para descrever eventos do passado. É formado geralmente com verbos terminados com ED ou verbos irregulares.
Present Perfect (presente perfeito): tempo verbal que serve para descrever eventos do passado que tem consequências presentes. Vem sempre acompanhado de um verbo auxiliar (have).
A diferença básica entre esses dois tempos verbais é que enquanto o present perfect fala simplesmente o fato ocorrido no passado, não dando detalhes, apenas enfatizando o que aconteceu. O simple past descreve basicamente fatos no passado, dando detalhes do que aconteceu, quando aconteceu, onde aconteceu, etc.
