In the English language, the past simple and present perfect tenses are used to show the difference between completed action in the past and ongoing actions. The present perfect tense is formed by combining the auxiliary verb 'have' or 'has' with the past participle of the verb. Most native English speakers actually mix present perfect and past simple tenses when speaking, which is completely acceptable and natural!
