Hi Nicolas,

You knew it shall be used in the past tense, so when you have done sth and you can add “le” at the end of the sentence.

E.g. I have finished my lunch= wo yi jing chi wan fan le.

Hi Nicolas,

“Le” is normally put after the verb and it’s used for something in the short past before.

And we have another word “过” is used for “long time ago”
