Present perfect ou past simple : I saw it, I've seen it (A2)
Quand tu cites un moment terminé, comme yesterday, last year ou in 2019, utilise le past simple.
Un moment terminé que tu cites → past simple
I saw it yesterday.
We met in 2019.
Essaie: Woman: Nice jacket! Is it new? Man: Yes, I ___ it last weekend. Choisis ce que dit l’homme. (have bought / bought / lost) Réponse: bought — Last weekend est un moment terminé, donc il dit bought.
Pas de moment terminé → present perfect
Sans moment terminé, utilise have / has + participe passé : pour ta vie jusqu’à maintenant, ou quand c’est encore vrai aujourd’hui.

Essaie: Woman: Your car looks great! Man: Thanks. I ___ it for twelve years, and it still works well. Choisis ce que dit l’homme. (had / have sold / have had) Réponse: have had — C’est toujours sa voiture, donc il dit qu’il l’a depuis douze ans : he has had it.
just, already, yet : les deux sont corrects

I just ate. / I've just eaten.
Did you pay yet? / Have you paid yet?
Essaie: Woman: Is your brother home? Man: Yes, he ___ home. He's in the kitchen. Choisis ce que dit l’homme. (will get / just got / didn't get) Réponse: just got — Il est dans la cuisine maintenant, donc just got convient (has just gotten est correct aussi).
Lequel convient ?
Il y a un moment terminé ? Utilise le past simple. Ta vie jusqu’ici, ou c’est encore vrai maintenant avec for ou since ? Utilise have / has + participe passé.
