That&amp;#39;s a common problem among learners. It&amp;#39;s been discussed several times, so try the search function of this forum (top right corner, there&amp;#39;s the search box). Search for &amp;quot;simple past&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;present perfect&amp;quot;, and you&amp;#39;ll definitely find tons of threads about the difference between them. I can only say that often there&amp;#39;s not much difference, and either could be used in a certain context. Looking at your sentences, and imagining a probable context, I&amp;#39;d say both of them are very likely to be ok in your case.</description></item><item><title>Difference b/w presentperfect and pasttense</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/DifferencePresentperfect-Pasttense/gvzql/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2009 00:31:20 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:522506</guid><dc:creator>coby</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/DifferencePresentperfect-Pasttense/gvzql/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-522506.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>I always get doubts with these two sentences.when to use simpepast and when to use past perfect
