Sorry, I have broken the bowl just now.
(We use the present perfect "have broken" because the action happened recently and has relevance to the present moment.)

John just drove from Bristol.
(We use the simple past "drove" because the action happened in the past, and there's no connection to the present.)

The other day we gave you some books. Where are they now?
(We use the simple past "gave" because the action occurred at a specific time in the past, "the other day.")

They have written some texts lately.
(We use the present perfect "have written" because the action has been completed recently and has relevance to the present.)

The day before yesterday we visited the Niagara Falls.
(We use the simple past "visited" because the action happened at a specific time in the past, "the day before yesterday.")

We already finished writing the test.
(We use the simple past "finished" because the action is completed and there is no need to emphasize the connection to the present.)

She has not read the story.
(We use the present perfect "has not read" because the action has relevance to the present, and we don't know when exactly she failed to read the story.)

When did you travel about the USA?
(We use the simple past "did you travel" because the question is about a specific point in the past.)

Have you done the exercise yet? When did you do it?
(We use the present perfect "have you done" because it asks if the action has been completed up to now. The second question uses the simple past "did you do" because it asks when the action took place.)
