question
The walls have been covered with boards.
The walls are covered with boards.

Which difference is there between them?

Answer

Both sentences lead to the fact that the walls are covered with boards.
The first sentence indicates HOW that came to be. They had been covered with boards.
The second sentence merely says what their current state is without giving any indication of how that came to be.

Does that help?

Answer

What difference is there between them?

One is past tense and the other is present tense that is the only difference between them.
