questions on tenses
1. I sometimes get confused whether if a sentence is more right than the other or if the sentence is not correct when being presented with two viable tense options.
I got this sentence from a post here. I don't usually like to use the word like "swipe" but for the purpose of learning, I will use it at least for this time. Of course, I am not making any comments/judgment on the person who use the word too.
The answer below is swiped straight out of "grammar monster."

2. I think this explanation/definition is from the same post.
Present Perfect Tense
Verbs describing actions in the present are said to be in the present tense. The present perfect tense is used for an action that began in the past and continues into the present.
And with that, I agree but my view on the present tense has been for focused on its relevance to the present situation or moment and not particularly whether the action is continuing to the present. Am I too one-sided in my view of the tense?
