Dear students,
Here is some information and exercises about the PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE!
The present perfect is a tense that is used a lot in English; sometimes errors are made by mistaking it with the past simple, the present simple, and others.
The PRSENT PERFECT SIMPLE expresses an action that is still going on or that stopped recently, but has an influence on the present. It puts emphasis on the result.
How do we form the Present Perfect tense?
We use the auxiliary verb HAVE + the past participle of the main verb
| Positive | Negative | Question | |
|---|---|---|---|
| I / you / we / they | I have spoken. | I have not spoken. | Have I spoken? |
| he / she / it | He has spoken. | He has not spoken. | Has he spoken? |
We can use it in several situations:
Use of Present Perfect
- puts emphasis on the result
Example: She has written five letters.
- action that is still going on
Example: School has not started yet.
- action that stopped recently
Example: She has cooked dinner.
- finished action that has an influence on the present
Example: I have lost my key.
- action that has taken place once, never or several times before the moment of speaking
Example: I have never been to Australia.
