present perfect tense

1. Understanding Present Perfect Tense

2. Introduction to Present Perfect Present Perfect is often confusing. It's not a past tense. It connects past actions to the present.

3. Why It's Called Present Perfect "Present" because the result is still relevant now. "Perfect" because it talks about completed actions. Example: "I have lost my keys."

4. Forming Present Perfect Use "have" or "has" + past participle. Example: "I have eaten." Regular verbs: add "ed" (e.g., played). Irregular verbs: learn their forms (e.g., run, ran, run).

5. Using Present Perfect Focus on the result, not the time. Example: "I have lost my keys" (result: can't enter house). Example: "I have eaten" (result: not hungry).

6. Common Words with Present Perfect Words like "ever," "never," "since," "already," "yet." Example: "I have never been to Japan." Example: "She has already finished her homework."

7. Negative Form Add "not" to "have" or "has." Example: "I have not seen that movie." Contraction: "haven't" or "hasn't."

8. Forming Questions Start with "have" or "has." Example: "Have you ever been to the zoo?" WH-questions: "What have you done today?"

9. Life Experiences Use for things you've done in your life. Example: "I have visited Paris." Example: "She has never ridden a horse."

10. Unfinished Time Periods Use with words like "this year," "today," "this week." Example: "I have read three books this month." Example: "We have traveled twice this year."

11. Practice Exercise Fill in the blanks: "He ______ (visit) Hungary in 1990." "He ______ (visit) Hungary two times." Answers: "visited" (past simple), "has visited" (present perfect).
