Hi Jon,

I hope you're enjoying your time in the UK! It sounds like you've been having a great experience so far. Now, let's go through the verbs and decide whether to use the present perfect or the past simple tense.

1) I have been in the UK for three weeks now and it's great!
In this sentence, the action of being in the UK started in the past (three weeks ago) and is still continuing in the present. We use the present perfect tense to talk about actions that started in the past and have a connection to the present.

2) I have visited so many places since I got here.
Here, the action of visiting places started and finished in the past, but the exact time is not mentioned. The important thing is that the action is connected to the present because you are still in the UK. Therefore, we use the present perfect tense.

3) I have done a lot of things.
Similar to the previous sentence, the action of doing a lot of things started and finished in the past, but the exact time is not important. Since you are still in the UK and the action has a connection to the present, we use the present perfect tense.

4) Yesterday, I traveled to Devon for the Guy Fawkes celebrations.
In this sentence, the action of traveling to Devon happened in the past, and it is clear that it is finished because "yesterday" indicates a specific time in the past. Therefore, we use the past simple tense.

5) I watched a procession in the morning.
Again, the action of watching the procession happened in the past, and it is clear that it is finished because "in the morning" indicates a specific time in the past. So, we use the past simple tense.

6) At 6.30pm, the people lit a huge bonfire.
Like the previous sentences, the action of lighting the bonfire happened in the past and is finished because "at 6.30pm" indicates a specific time in the past. Therefore, we use the past simple tense.

7) I have never seen anything like it!
Here, we use the present perfect tense because the action of never seeing anything like it is connected to the present. Even though you are talking about a past experience, it has an impact on your current state of mind.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.

Best regards,
