PRESENT PERFECT TENSE

 We form the Present Perfect using the present tense of have + a past
participle:
POSITIVE

FULL FORM SHORT FORM

 I/you have arrived  I’ve arrived
 He/she/it has arrived  He’s arrived
 We/you/they have arrived  We’ve arrived
NEGATIVE

FULL FORM SHORT FORM

 I/you have not written  I haven’t written
 He/she/it has not written  He hasn’t written
 We/you/they have not written  We haven’t written

INTERROGATIVE

 Have I/you driven?

 Has he/she/it driven?
 Have we/you/they driven?

 Regular past participles end in -ed or -d:

APRENDIENDO A EDUCARSE, SER Y OBRAR

 INSTITUCIÓN EDUCATIVA LA ESPERANZA
Big
Ben
English Examples: play played travel travelled arrive arrived wash
washed

Many past participles are irregular:

Examples: buy  bought make made go gone

 We use the Present Perfect:

1.To talk about recent actions:

Examples  At 18:00, Anna arrived home.

At 18:01, we can say: Anna has arrived home.

From 18:30 to 19:00, Anna ate her dinner.

At 19:01, we can say: She´s eaten her dinner.

2.To talk about our lives:

Examples I’ve sailed across the Atlantic.

I’ve seen gorillas in Africa.

I haven’t danced the Flamenco.

When we ask people about their lives, we often use ever (=at any time):

Example Have you ever been to Australia?

Answers: Yes, I have / No, I haven´t

When people talk about their lives, they sometimes use never (=not at
any time):

Example I’ve never learnt French.

Note that ever and never come before the past participle.

3. We use the Present Perfect to talk about something that happened in the
past, but we don’t say exactly when it happened:

APRENDIENDO A EDUCARSE, SER Y OBRAR

 INSTITUCIÓN EDUCATIVA LA ESPERANZA
Big
Ben
English I’ve seen this film before. (=before now)

We often use the Present Perfect in this way for things that happened in the
past, and that have a result now:

Examples  I’ve seen this film before. I don’t want to see it again now.

She’s left the company. She doesn’t work there now.

We often use the Present Perfect with ever (=at any time) and never (=at no
time):

Examples  Have you ever met a famous person?

He has never worked in a factory.

Watch the following video to reinforce the pervious explanation about the use of ever
and never: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OARA5_MWFYI

FOR AND SINCE:

 We can use the Present Perfect with for and since to talk about
situations or actions in a period of time from the past until now.

1.We use for with a period of time (Ex: three months)

1 2 3 4 5 6 NOW
PAST

English FOR SIX MONTHS

Example We’ve lived here for six months.

2.We use since with a point in time (Ex: Tuesday)

PAST MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY NOW

SINCE TUESDAY

ExampleI haven’t seen Tom since Tuesday.

GONE AND BEEN:

Look at the difference between these two sentences:

He’s been to Paris. (=He is now at home again)

He’s gone to Paris. (=He is in Paris now)

He’s been means ‘he has finished his trip’.

He’s gone means ‘he has begun his trip’.

JUST, ALREADY AND YET:

 We use just with the Present Perfect to talk about things that
happened a short time before now:

Have + just + past participle

It has just finished

Examples:  Could I speak to Jasmine, please? I’m afraid she has just left.
(=She left a short time ago).

Is that a good book? I don’t know. I’ve just started it. (=I started it a short
time before now).

 Look at this example with already:

Do you want something to eat? No thanks, I’ve already eaten. (=I ate
before now).

APRENDIENDO A EDUCARSE, SER Y OBRAR

 INSTITUCIÓN EDUCATIVA LA ESPERANZA
Big
Ben
English We use already with the Present Perfect to emphasize that something
happened before now, or before it was expected to happen. We use
already like this:

Have + already + past participle

I’ve already heard that story.

Here is another example:

Nicola: Is Sarah going to phone you later?

Robert: No. She's (= She has) already phoned me. (= Sarah phoned before
Nicola expected her to phone.)

 We use yet with a negative verb to say that something has not
happened, but we think that it will happen:

Example The post hasn't arrived yet. (= The post has not arrived, but it
probably will arrive.)

I haven't finished this work yet. (= I haven't finished this work, but I will
finish it.)

They haven't replied to my letter yet.

We use yet in questions to ask whether something that we expect to

happen has happened:

Example Have you paid the bill yet? (= Perhaps you have not paid the
bill, but you are going to pay it soon.)

Has it stopped raining yet? (= Perhaps it has not stopped raining, but it
will stop raining soon.)

Have you found a job yet?

Notice that we usually put yet at the end of a negative statement or

question.
