I HAVE JUST ADDED this lesson in the bookmarks of my browser! Thank you very much for such a clear explanation. All of your lessons are very helpful for me, but this one is the most useful, because I have some problem with usage of the present perfect tense.)

What about using the Simple Past with no specific time?
I used to struggle with the Present Perfect until I realize that some native speakers do use the Simple Past whithout mentioning the specific time, which oftenly confuses non-native speakers.
Could you please make a video about it?

Great! Wanted to use this for a lesson of mine, but I need something that also mentions the other contexts like experiences, etc. But this is super clear and concise.

This video is the simplest explanation of the present perfect tense I've seen.
1. Duration of time
2. Indefinite past
3. Repeated past action
4. The very recent past
This is about past participle.
and then you should have it now!
You have "past participle that means 1, 2, 3, 4" now.

I have some questions to you and expecting to be answered quickly.
1) House has burnt.
2) Shop has opened.
3) Show has started.
4) The document has submitted.
Now tell me if the first three sentences are correct which I know are correct why the fourth one is wrong. What is the logic behind this or which rules make the first three sentences correct and make the fourth one wrong.
Many other examples are following
1) Room filled with balloons. (correct in past simple.)
2) Room was filling with water. (not correct in past continuous but why?)
3) Glass broke. (correct in past simple.)
4) Glass was breaking. (not correct in past continuous but why?)

I know that present perfect is an action started in the past and continues until now or today. HOWEVER, I'm always confused the meaning of "continue until now". That means the action is still working now? For instance, "I have eaten pizza." means I am eating the pizza now? or the action is finished, but the result impact me?

i've been trying to understand the perfects tenses a while, and your video was very helpful.

in my mother tongue there's not such thing as perfect tenses, because it's not important to say the moment of when an action has happened.
so it's been very hard to understand it.
