Explanation
Indefinite past vs. definite past
When talking about something that occurred at an indefinite time in the past, we use the present perfect. For example, I have taken the bus three times this week.
When referring to a definite time in the past, (two weeks ago, on Friday, last year, etc.) the past tense must be used. For example, I took the bus on Monday.
There are different ways to answer a question about the indefinite past. A: Have you ever been to London? B: Yes, I have been there twice.
A: Have you ever been to London? B: Yes, I went once in 1996 and once in 2001.
A: Have you ever been to London? B: No, I’ve never been there.
