Tenses: "present simple and present perfect" (Q1)
Hi there teachers,
A: I often see him walking in the woods all by himself.
B: I've often seen him walking in the woods all by himself.
[Is there any difference in the meanings they ('A' and 'B') convey? I think in the sentence 'A', the speaker still sees the person. Am I right, teachers?. Is it true with the sentence 'B' as well? The meaning of 'B' is not clear to me, so please help me by telling me what it means.]
