"i have done this" / "i did this" ?

greetings,

what exactly is the difference b/w the two? Can both be used interchangeably?
  

Top answer

In most cases, they are interchangeable. Present perfect emphasizes the recent accomplishment or that the deed is completed. Past tense is a simple statement of past fact, without emotion.
