Past Simple VS Present Perfect

May be half of you are still confused about these tenses right? Don't worry, I will explain it to you.

Past Simple : Tells us about an action that has already happened on that time. It doesn't have a relation until now. (Sudah basi).
Example:
Miss Rahayu taught English in here 2 years ago.
Ridho waited his friend yesterday.

Those sentences mean that Miss Rahayu doesn't teach English in here again and Ridho doesn't wait his friend again.
Formula : S + Verb 2 + O/C


Present Perfect : Tells us about an action that has happened and still have  relation until now. (Belum Basi).
Example :
Miss Rahayu has taught English since 2 years.
Ridho has waited his friend for an hour.

Those sentences mean that Miss Rahayu still  teaches English in here and Ridho still  waits his friend.
Formula : S + to be (Has/Have) + Verb 3 + O/C

So, Do you get it?
