Present perfect

I Read the text and underline examples of the Present perfect tense.

I think I have had a very interesting life. I'm 73 now and I don't work anymore. I was in the
army for 51 year. I retired when I was 69. I live in a small town in Luissiana. I have lived here
for the last 20 years. To be precise, I have lived here since 1995.

I have been to so many countries that I can't remember all of them. I've been to Australia six
or seven times and to South Africa three times. I have also been once in Russia but I didn't
like it at all: much too cold for me!I have never been to Scandinavian countries but I would
like to. I haven't travelled since I visited my children last month.

They say that love is the greatest thing and I agree. I've been married four times but never for
more than five years. I don't think women really understand me! I have been married four
times but I haven’t found my soul mate yet.

I've never been on television, but I've been on the radio once. It was a programme about life in
the military about twenty years ago. I met the Prime Minister on the same day. Actually, I've
met a lot of famous people: members of the royal family, famous politicians and also famous
cinema and television personalities. I've never met the American President though which is a
pity.

Because I've travelled a lot, I've seen a lot of wonderful things and have also eaten and drunk
some strange foods and drinks. I ate cat and rat in India and drank something called Mirto on
a little island in Italy many years ago. That was the first time that I have ever eaten a cat and
rat.

I have just eaten my special meal which my army friend has sent me. He has sent me this
meal many times and I always send him back my special drink. This week I have repaired my
old gun. It has rained a lot this week so I couldn't go to the post office to send it to my buddy.

Exercise.

Jack________(be) my friend for over 20 years. We_______(know)each other since we were


children. Recently, he and his family ________(move) to a house on the same street as me,
and now our children play together almost every day. They ________(live) in old flat near

doctor for several times about his knee, but the doctor doesn't know what is causing his pain.
Jack____has decided_____(decide) to take a break from hockey for a while, so that his knee
can recover. It's going to be lonely on the team without him!
