The Extract (1min 08s): Oh no I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing

the Preterit.” Here, the present perfect allows making a link
between past and the present; we notice at the present moment
that a thing occurred without seeing a date or a specified
temporal mark.
