In simple past tense time is mentioned. 

The adverbs used in the simple past tense are 'last week/last month/last year/a few minutes ago/ in the year 1987 etc.

Example: I met my friend in the year 2006.

We bought our house two years ago. 

My friends went on a picnic last week. 

Whereas, time is not mentioned in the present perfect tense. The adverbs used in the present perfect tense are 'since/for/yet/already etc.

Example: I haven't completed my homework yet.

Since- point of time

For- duration of time

Already- Used in an affirmative sentence to show that something has begun in the past and continues in the present.
