It is hard to learn Past Simple and Present Perfect tenses.
It is hard for me to learn Past Simple and Present Perfect tenses.
Probably this two tenses are very basic to learn, but I'm struggling to learn it.
For example, if I write "I haven't made my meal", this phrase is in Present Perfect tense (I think).
If I write "I didn't make my meal", this phrase is in Past Simple tense (I think).
In these examples, both phrases describe something that didn't happen, but when I need to write something in English, I always struggle with knowing what tense I need to use to write what I want.
É dificil para mim aprender os tempos verbais Passado Simples e o Presente Perfeito.
Provavelmente esses dois tempos verbais são bem básicos de aprender, mas estou lutando para aprender.
Por exemplo, se eu escrevo "I haven't made my meal", essa frase está no Presente Perfeito (eu acho).
Se eu escrever "I didn't make my meal", essa frase está no Passado Simples (eu acho).
Nesses exemplos, ambas frases descrevem algo que não aconteceu, mas quando eu preciso escrever algo em Inglês, eu sempre tenho dificuldade em saber em qual tempo verbal usar para escrever o que eu quero.

Yes. This is present perfect because it is a "helper" to the verb. You could write "I made my bed"(Not Present Perfect) or "I have made my bed"(Present Perfect)
(I think)

Present Perfect and Simple Past are very much interchangeable in English, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. There is no difference (to me) between "I haven't see him" and "I didn't see him".

"Probably" at the beginning is used more in conversation than in writing. "them" rather than "it" as you're talking about more than one tense.

For me the big difference between those two phases are about the time you're focusing on. When you say "I didn't make my meal", you're talking about the past, like everything is final. It makes me feel you're not going to get a chance to eat again until your next meal time.
When you say "I haven't made my meal", it almost implies "yet". It points out that at this specific time, your meal isn't made. But maybe it will be soon.
