Q

Grammar

The present perfect

A

Grammar:
The present perfect:
@ Use the present perfect to talk about an indefinite time in the past.
@ Use the simple past tense to talk about a definite or specific time.
Present perfect: indefinite time.
1- I’ve met Bill twice.
Simple past tense: definite time.
2- WE met in 1999 and again in 2004.
@Form the present perfect with “have” or “has” and a past participle.
- For regular verbs, the past participle form is the same as the simple past form:
3- Open —– opened
4- Study —– studied

  • 5- We’ve met them.
    6- We haven’t met them.
    7- Have you met them? / Yes, we have. / No, we haven’t.
    8- She’s called him.
    9- She hasn’t called him
    10- Has she called him? / Yes, she has. / No, she hasn’t.

Information questions:
@Form information questions by inverting “have” and the subject of the sentence.
11- What have you seen in Paris?
12- What (or which) countries have you visited?
13- Where has she found the best souvenirs?
14- How have your partners been?
15- How many cities have you visited this week?
16- Who have you traveled with?
@ Note: When “who” is the subject of the sentence, there is no inversion.
17- Who has traveled to Miami in the last two months?

Use and placement of “yet” and “already”:
@ Use “already” in affirmative statements. Place “already” before the main verb or at the end of the statement.
18- I have already read the book. OR I’ve read the book already.
@ Use “yet” in negative statements. Place “yet” at the end of the statement or between “have” and the base form.
19- I haven’t read the book yet. OR I haven’t yet read the book.
@Use “yet” or “already” in questions.
20- Have you read the book yet?
21- OR Have you already read the book?
22- OR Have you read the book already?
Be careful:
@ Don’t use “yet” in affirmative statements. Don’t use “already” in negative statements.
23- DON’T SAY Yes, I’ve read the book yet.
24- DON’T SAY No, I haven’t already read the book.
@ Don’t use ever with yet or already.
25- DON’T SAY Have you “ever” read the book “yet”?
26- DON’T SAY Have you “ever” read the book already?

Ever, never, and before.
@ Use “ever” in questions. Use “never” in negative statements and short answers. Do not use “ever” in affirmative statements.
27- Have you “ever” made sushi? Yes, I have. OR Yes, I’ve made sushi. NOT Yes, I’ve “ever” made sushi.
28- Have you “ever” made sushi? No, I “never” have. OR No, I’ve “never” made sushi.
@ You can also use “before” in negative statements with “never”.
29- I’ve “never” been to Thailand “before”.
@ In very informal speech, “ever” is sometimes used to strongly emphasize “never”. This meaning of “ever” is similar to “in my whole life”.
30- I’ve “never ever” been to Thailand.

The present perfect and present perfect continuous:

Unfinished actions

A

The present perfect and present perfect continuous:
Unfinished actions.

Unfinished (or continuous) actions are those that began in the past, continue in the present and may possibly continue into the future. Here are three ways to talk about unfinished actions:

@ The present perfect with “since”: Use “since” with a stated start time in the past.

  1. I’ve lived here “since” 2001. (2001 is the stated start time. I still live here, so the action “continues”.

@ The present perfect with “for”: Use “for” to describe the period of time from its start until the present.

  1. I’ve lived here “for” five years. (Emphasis is on the five –year period. I still live here, so the action “continues”.

@ The present continuous with “for” or “since”. (Form the present perfect continuous with the present perfect of “be” and a present participle.)

  1. I’ve been living here since 2001. OR I’ve been living here for five years. (In both cases, the action “continues.”)
    @ When describing continuing and unfinished actions with “for” and “since”, the present perfect and the present perfect continuous are both correct. Some people feel the present perfect continuous emphasizes the continuing time a bit more.
