I know one of the uses of the perfect tense is to describe an action from the past that influences the present.

Then I would expect most of state change (changed, grew, transformed, moved) verbs to be used in perfect tense mainly.

However Google search shows the opposite. What am I missing?

  • I think what you're missing is that the perfect is far more complex than that - [this answer](https://ell.stackexchange.com/a/13261/9161) from [Canonical Post #2: What is the perfect, and how should I use it?](https://ell.stackexchange.com/q/13255/9161) might help. – ColleenV Apr 01 '21 at 14:01
