What verb tense is used in paragraph 2? Why?
- Present perfect, because the actions didn’t happen at a specific time in the past, and because all of these actions could happen more in the future.
Paragraph 3 (mostly)?
- Simple past, because these things happened at a specific (finished) time.
---
Grammar: Present perfect vs. simple past
---
Present perfect = the action might happen more in the time we’re talking about
Simple past = the action is completed and it will not happen again in the time we’re talking about

Did you go skydiving? = I’m asking about a specific past time (and I think you know the time I’m talking about).
