The Present Perfect is used to connect the past with the present. It is used when we think about the past and present together:
Experience (Dont say the time): I have never visited France. We have never studied that. If you give specific past time, you need to use the simple past. Did you see the movie last week?
Duration (How Long): I have lived with a roommate for six months. Action is not finish. now
Duration (How Long): She plays the violin. For how long? She has played violin for many years. Action is not finish. now
Duration (completed actions): She lived with me for 2 years.
