Present Perfect or Past Simple for Pre-intermediate Learners

‘I have been to Japan last year’ ✘ 為什麼這句也是錯的？明明 ‘have been’ 是去過的意思啊！同學們，這是典型的時態混淆！關鍵在於：若提及具體時間（last year），必須用Past Simple（過去式）－’I went to Japan last year’ ✔；若強調經驗而沒有提及時間，則用Present Perfect－’I have been to Japan’ ✔。本集教你在對話中靈活切換：用Present Perfect開啟話題（Have you ever...?），再用Past Simple追問細節（When did you go?），讓對話更自然流暢！
