Hi teacher, hello guys, good evening every body.

Welcome to the class


The topic is Present Perfect. Let is start.
Can you heard me???

DEFINITION
We use the present perfect to describe an event or personal experience in the past
without a specific time
The present perfect tense is used to describe:
1. an action or situation that began sometime in the past and continues into the
present time.
2. an action performed during a period that has not yet completed.
3. a repeated activity in an unspecified time period between the past and the
current time period.
4. an action that finished in the very recent past, expressed by ‘just’.
5. an action when the time is not important.

WHEN TO USE PRESENT PERFECT WHEN TO USE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE?


1) We use the Present Perfect Tense to talk about experiences. It is important if we
have done it in our lives or not. It is not important when we did it.

I have been abroad two times.    
Anna has never broken a leg.    
Have you ever eaten sushi?

Tip! We often use never and ever with the Present Perfect Tense to talk about
experience.
2) We use the Present Perfect Tense to talk about an action which started in the past
and continuous up to now.
Examples    
I have been a teacher for more than ten years.    
We haven't seen Janine since Friday.    
How long have you been at this school?

Tip! We often use since and for to say how long the action has lasted.

3) We also use the Present Perfect Tense to talk about a past action that has the result
in the present.
Examples    
I have lost my wallet. = I don't have it now.    
Jimmy has gone to South America. = He isn't here now.    
Have you finished your homework? = Is your homework ready?
Tip! We often use just, already and yet with the Present Perfect Tense for an action in
the past with the result in the present.
