20 years ago

for ages
just
Now
Which tense goes with specific past time words like "20 years ago"?
Which tense goes with non-specific past time expressions like "for ages" and "just"?
Simple past tense.
Present perfect tense.
无
What about "used to"? Does it have a time word?
No, but it means something in the past.
"Used to" doesn't need a time word because it itself means something happened regularly in the past but doesn't happen now.(曾经;过去常常)
It’s a structure that expresses past habits, which is related to the concept of simple past tense but has its own form.
一般过去时 VS 现在完成时
核心区别
一般过去时:强调动作发生在过去,并且已经结束,和
现在没有直接关系。
现在完成时:强调动作发生在过去,但对现在有影响,
或者一直持续到现在。
具体用法对比
1. 时间点 VS 时间段
一般过去时 强调过去的某个具体时间点。
I visited Beijing last summer.
我去年夏天去了北京。——强调去年夏天那个时间点
现在完成时 强调从过去延续到现在的一段时间。
I have visited Beijing three times.
我去过北京三次。——强调到现在为止的经历
2. 动作是否结束
一般过去时 的动作已经结束,和现在无关。
I lost my keys.
我把钥匙弄丢了。——只陈述过去丢了钥匙这件事
现在完成时 的动作可能还没结束,或者对现在有影响。
I have lost my keys.
我把钥匙弄丢了。——暗示:我现在进不了门
3. 有无具体的、表示过去的时间标志词
一般过去时 常与具体的、表示过去时间的词连用:
yesterday, last week, ...ago, in 2020, when I was a child...
现在完成时 不与表示具体过去的时间词连用,常与以下词连用:
already, just, ever, never, yet, for, since, so far, up to now...
I saw the movie yesterday. (有具体时间)
I have seen the movie. (无具体时间)
