Il y a deux temps en anglais: le présent simple et le prétérit.

Il y a deux aspects: Be + ING / HAVE + PARTICIPE PASSE

 

Be + ing insiste sur l'action du verbe.

Have + participe passé permet de faire un bilan de ses expériences au moment présent,

La première phrase insiste donc sur l'action alors que la deuxième se cantonne à un bilan des expériences.
