Today is so hot!🥵 I want to drink a glass of water! Especially, cool water is great. I also like coke, I wanna drink it with many ice.

😅 Ever Struggled with Present Perfect vs. Simple Past? Same Here! I remember when I first started teaching English—I kept noticing how tricky it is to choose between "I have done" and "I did." Even advanced learners sometimes ask: What’s the actual difference? It usually comes down to whether the action is connected to now (present perfect) or clearly in the past and finished (simple past). Example 1: I’ve just eaten lunch. (Still relevant—I’m full now!)
 ✔ Example 2: I ate lunch at noon. (That moment is finished and not related to now.) 
✔ I’m curious—
👉 Do you find this difference easy or confusing?
👉 In your native language, is there a similar difference? Let’s share thoughts and help each other out. Maybe we can collect some helpful examples together!

I ate tsukemen today, and it was amazing. The chashu was thick and so delicious. I really enjoyed the meal and felt happy. It gave me some extra energy and motivation. I think I can do my best starting tomorrow. Good food always makes a difference!
