SEE, SEEN, SAW: a conversation and explanation
-Would you like to see that new movie?
-I have seen it already!
-When did you see it?
-I saw it last week, on Saturday.
The first sentence is talking about the future.
The reply "I have seen it already" means that the person saw the movie in the past AND that this fact is relevant to 'now', the present, the present situation.
The final reply '"I saw it last week" is a simple statement of fact about something that was done, accomplished, finished, or completed in the past. Therefore 'saw' is called the past simple (or simple past) of the verb 'see'.
