Simple Present is the most basic tense for a verb. These are used when you are talking about what is happening now.
He eats his dinner.
She sleeps on his bed.
They cycle together.
Present Perfect is used when the time is not specified before now. This means, you cannot use present perfect when the sentence indicates a time. Present Perfect verbs are created by taking the verb 'have/has' and adding the past participle (ex. walked).
He has walked to school.
She has slept on the bed.
They have cycled together.
it is INCORRECT to say:
He has walked to school this morning.
She has slept on the bed yesterday.
They have cycled together last week.
