The present paper aims to analyze differences in the use of the present perfect (henceforth PP) and the simple past (henceforth SP) between British English (BrE) and American English (AmE). Both PP and SP are used to refer to an event or state in the past. In addition, both can be used to refer to a state of affairs that existed for a period of time. The primary difference in meaning between PP and SP is that while the former describes a situation that continues to exist up to the present time, the latter describes a situation that no longer exists or an event that took place at a particular time in the past. This meaning difference is often made explicit by temporal adverbs accompanying the main verb (Biber et al., 1999, 467).in an attempt to examine the differences in the use of PP and SP between BrE and AmE, the present study employs six temporal adverbs: already, just, never, ever, yet, and before. These adverbs have been used because some of these are the most frequent temporal adverbs in English (Biber et al., 1999, 795-99) and these adverbs have been explored in many of the previous studies (e.g., Quirk et al., 1985; Easiness 1997; Hundt and Smith 2009;Yao and Collins 2012) in relation to their use in PP and SP.

The purpose of this study is to explore the differences between the usage of the present perfect by British and American speakers in oral English. The history of the English language and its journey across the Atlantic have been briefly analyzed in order to better understand the reasons behind the use of the present perfect in present day English. Grammar textbooks and theories from scholars, regarding both British and American English, have been compared to assess the similarities and differences between the two. To further analyze the subject, real examples of fictional, formal and informal discourse have been compared and crosschecked with grammar theories. The ways in which the usage of the present perfect varies between British and American English has been categorized. Although the difference was slight, it was found that, in the examples analyzed, the present perfect was more frequently used in British English. Therefore, it was concluded that the hypothesis is relevant, howe...

With the globalization of learning, speaking and culture the requirement for gaining great informative English by every last one has expected incredible centrality in the twentieth first century.

Nowadays, English has become a worldwide language, allowing people from all over the world to connect with each other. The purpose of English has been emphasized as not being confined to international purposes, but also for local purposes. As a result, the importance of using English has spread throughout the world. It's possible because the impact of English as an international language has successfully moved the English role's dominance globally. Kachru (1992) pointed out that the role of English might be employed in non-English speaking nations for academic reasons, particularly in the process of learning English, based on the spread of the role of English. Nonetheless, not all language acquisition techniques are always successful. Along the way, there are still some obstacles to overcome. Students who learn English as their second language often face some common difficulties. The potential hurdles of the English learning process may be greater in non-English speaking countries than in English-speaking countries when learning English. Some elements, such as learners' ability, motivation, environment, practices, and prior knowledge of learning foreign languages, influenced the problems (Thompson, 2014). Furthermore, linguistic distinctions, such as variances in phonology, word order, phrases, and verbal system, could be another element that contributed to the problem. Proper use of tense is one of them. Tense, in grammar, expresses the time of an action. Whether an action has been done, or is being done or yet to be done, these expressions are expressed with the help of Tense. Hence, ‘Tense’ is an important aspect that ESL learners have to be well aware of to be a skillful writer and a good speaker as well. However, most students face numerous problems in using tenses properly. Also, teachers find it difficult as well to help the students gain accuracy on this particular grammar item. According to Noam Chomsky for the native speaker, grammar is somewhere in their brains and they can use it to make sentences. Chomsky maintains that language activity is an activity unique to human beings’ experience, so that learning a language involves mental processes. But for second language speakers it becomes slightly difficult to learn the grammar and tense is one of the major ones of them. The Problem Learning English is about more than just vocabulary and grammar. For ESL students, the social components of language use can be even more difficult than the linguistic aspects. A communicative competency barrier also exists for students learning a second language. The students are unsure about the new language's functions and when it is suitable to use it in specific situations. This incapacity causes stress and dissatisfaction in the student, as well as a decrease in the desire to participate in the community; this is referred to as the affective filter (Dulay & Burt, 1974). Teachers can be frustrated by their students' incapacity to communicate. Dr Cho identifies a variety of reasons why overseas students studying in an English-speaking country face significant stress and challenges when completing coursework. After going through some research journals previously conducted by other scholars and data analysis, the following problems can be considered as the vital ones. Different directions in the methodology of teaching foreign languages understood the role of grammar in different ways. With a communicative-cognitive approach, the importance of grammar is great. We learn grammar for communication. As it has already been mentioned that the importance of tense is much vital in learning English, therefore the problem regarding tense incompetency of the students need to be taken seriously. In many cases it is seen that ESL students are not being able to use the tenses properly. They end up using, let’s say, present perfect tense in place of past indefinite and vice versa. Besides, students sometimes also make errors in the structure of the proper tense.

The purpose of this study is to find out the common errors/mistakes committed by the school learners of level 8, while learning tenses of English in the schools run by the public sector in the city of Lahore. The objective of the study is to look for the factors responsible for errors committed by the students learning tenses of English language in public sector schools. For this survey study, a questionnaire has been used as a tool to collect data from the sample of the study. Twenty English teachers have been randomly selected to collect data through a close-ended questionnaire. A quantitative approach has been used to analyze the findings of the questionnaire. The study revealed that generally the learners of English tenses were confused with the difference of sentence structure of L1 and L2. The traditional grammar translation method was another hindrance to comprehend the grammatical rules of the English tenses. The rules are explained in L1 whereas they are applied on L2. This study can be helpful for the learners at the school level as well as at higher level. Even the teachers teaching English language not only in the schools but also in the colleges may benefit from it. Key Words. Errors. Level 8. Public Sector Schools.

The perfect in English creates problems for both elementary and advanced learners. It is interpreted frequently as an optional alternative to the simple past tense; this interpretation of its function leads to frequent errors of tense usage. Difficulties with the present perfect tense are often reinforced by faulty teaching. The basic uses of the perfect are outlined and contrasted with the functions of the simple past tense. (Richards, 1979:95)
