Choosing only between the two. The short answer where most students make mistakes would be to ask herself:
1 - If the action started in the past is finished or is still happening in the present moment.
E.g.:
I've played football for 10 years (and I still do, so not finished)
I played football until my injury.
2 - If there is a "result or change" she can observe in the present after the action is completed.
E.g.:
I've lost a filling (this is why I can't eat now)
I lost a filling last week. (It hurt until I went to the dentist yesterday and got it fixed. Now I'm OK)
This should cut it for a 9 year old :)

You can prove this by reversing the two whereby you will notice that the verb stays in plural. Same as for example: Bob and Frank are happy. Bob and the cyclists are happy. The cyclists and Bob are happy.0 votedMarch 1, 20171
- Looks like a mistranslation. Already the beginning of the line should read "Serving size" instead of "Serve...". I'd get in touch with the manufacturer just to make sure, because it looks like they messed something up with the translation and since its something you eat, better be sure.0 votedMarch 1, 20170
Hi Lawrence,
Depending on how you chose the words you learnt you could narrow it down to a field you will be using your English skills in and then practicing the nuances of those terms. A good learners thesaurus dictionary such as the Oxford Learner's Thesaurus - in it you will see that each headword is followed by a list of similar words in order of frequency across different contexts or areas of use. This in my experience would be the best alternative to a tutor, as far as I have seen from my teaching of business English.
If you have any questions fee free to message me. Enjoy your learning experience and persist!
