When to use the perfect tense versus the simple past (Perfecto vs Indefinido)
While I find the Spanish of this page clear, the English is confusingly structured. It starts ...
"In English, we would use I went for all of these cases:"
Which is not necessarily true .. and later in the lesson it uses went-have been as I would use them.
Perfecto vs Indefinido

Hola Gareth W.
Thanks for pointing this out. You're right that the wording can be confusing, as English can use either the simple past or the present perfect depending on the context.
We're actually currently working on this lesson and reviewing the explanations, so we'll make sure this point is clarified.
Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
Saludos
Silvia
