07y contextual fill-in-the-blanks: present-perfect vs. simple past
Based on the context of the first sentence, fill-in the blanks with simple past OR present perfect. * With the simple past, the action or state occurred in the past, and does NOT come to the present. * Often, the preposition "in" goes with the simple past, as "in 1967". * With the present-perfect, the time-frame BEGAN AT A PAST POINT BUT CONTINUES TO THE PRESENT. * "Since" + a point in the past (example: "since yesterday") usually goes with the present perfect. * "For" + a length of time (example: "for 5 years") can go with EITHER the simple past OR the present perfect.
