    Have you contemplated on what might be the reason for you state? 

    I have felt like this as well. I think that the people we are surrounded by, have quite different(from our) value system. In other words we don't share same interests.

    P.S. Please correct my comment if you consider it wrong :)

    Thank you @Dan Smith.

    I often misspell that word, and the spell-check doesn't catch it as well :). 

    In the example above I was trying to get closer to specifics of the present perfect. I admit that I find this tense most difficult of all. I often mistake it with simple past, using that one instead of the other and vice versa. 

    So, I am working on my CV in English. Now I am at the field where I have to tell about my communication experience and where wasit acquired. This is what I wrote:

    "I have worked as a Maintenance Engineer at Filkab, Plovdiv, Bulgaria. During my work, I have had many contacts with English speaking customers and partners."

    Please note that I want to emphasize where I have had contact with English speakers.

    Any correction(not only on the quoted sentence, but the entire comment) is very much welcome.

    - I go to work ON Monday.

    - ON 23 of July I didn't got to work.

    - IN 2016 I turned 26. 

    Thank you! BTW should the word 'you' be spelled with uppercase in :)?

    Thank you @Richard.
    Contemplating on your explaination " you graduated ONCE (and the graduation did not continue)" new questions emerge. For example:

    I have been in London once.

    Is the ^^above ^^ sentence grammatically correct? If yes, then it(being in London) happened once and it does not continue. But it is still Past Perfect.

    How to determine which one to use? Present perfect or Simple Past?

    Hi everyone. I face big difficulties which tense to use Present Perfect or Simple Past. Is there a methodology to help me differentiate them? 

    When a specific time is used into the predicate, I have no problems, I just use simple past. Here  this is an example that induce a lot of frustration to me, because it seems to contradict one of the rules that define simple past tense. Consider this example:

        "I graduated from North Carolina State University with a bachelors degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering."

    Why simple past? Why not: 
    "I HAVE  graduated from North Carolina State University with a bachelors degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering."

    Please help me to choose the right tense without ambiguity!

    Thank you!

    I work 167.33 hours a month Why should we work so much? We have reached such technological advance, with machines that are one thousand times more efficient than those one hundred years ago. And yet I can afford little bit more than my ancestors from that time. The technology should liberate people from labor. Then why a fifty years ago only the man in the family was sufficient to feed and educate (to provide) the family? Now both parents work, the family barely get together. The standard of living seems to get worse. We have advanced technologically, but in terms of social matter, it seems to me there is a declaim. If you consider my thoughts reasonable, please share your opinion, what might cause this situation.

    I believe personal contact is the most effective and natural way to learn to speak and understand language is the personal contact and the environment. This method has been proven many times.
