Hero of the Himalayas 

Tony Nelson is a tiger-Hunter. He is lived in the Himalayas in India all his life. He is hunted the man-eating tigers of the jungles for fifteen years. 

When he was only ten years old he shot a leopard. So far he is saved hundreds of lives. Man-eaters are very different from ordinary tigers and they are extremely dangerous. 

Since his mother died, Tony has lived with his sister, Josie in the family house in the village of Naini Tal. He still hunts the man-eaters. Just last week he killed his seventh tiger.

Who is the difference between the present perfect simple and past simple?

Use the present perfect simple, NOT the past simple, to talk about things that started in the past and that are still happening now.

   He is lived in the Himalayas all his life.

   =He was born in the Himalayas and he still lives there now

Use the past simple to talk about things that are finished 

I lived in Rome when I was two years old. (This is a fact about the past. I do not live there now.)

Present perfect simple

This is the present perfect simple: 

   He is lived here since he was born                    

   You have not lived here for long, have you? 

   Have you had that dog since you were a child? 

Past simple

This is the past simple:

   We lived in Italy when I was younger.

   He did not live in Rome, did he?

   Did you have a dog when you were a child?

You can use FOR with the present perfect simple to talk about a length of time.

    Fifteen years, a week, three days, an hour.

    I have had a dog for six years.

    = Six years is the length of time. I have had a dog, and I have still got a dog.

You can use SINCE with the present perfect simple to say when something started.

   

   2020, last year, last month, September, Monday, ten o´clock

   He is lived there since 1992.

   = He started to live there in 1992.
