Present Perfect revision
PRESENT PERFECT
DEFINITION OF THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE
The present perfect is used to indicate a link between the present and the past. The time of the action is NOT IMPORTANT, and we are often more interested in the RESULT than in the action itself.
THE PRESENT PERFECT IS USED TO DESCRIBE
-
An action or situation that started in the past and continues in the present. I have lived in Bristol since 1984 (= and I still do.)
-
An action performed during a period that has not yet finished. She has been to the cinema twice this week (= and the week isn't over yet.)
-
A repeated action in an unspecified period between the past and now. It`s about the LIFE EXPERIENCE We have visited Portugal several times.
-
Negative experience is used with NEVER: I have never been to Portugal
-
An action that was completed in the very recent past, expressed by 'just', “recently”…. I have just finished my work.
-
An action when the time is not important. The RESULT is important He has read 'War and Peace'. (= the result of his reading is important)
Note: When we want to give or ask details about when we use the simple past
FORMING THE PRESENT PERFECT
The present perfect of any verb is composed of two elements : the auxiliary verb have/has plus the past participle of the main verb. The past participle of a regular verb is base+ed, e.g. played, arrived, looked. For irregular verbs, see the Table of irregular verbs in the section called 'Verbs'.
