PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLEGood morning! Today I’m going to tell you something about the Present Perfect Simple...
WHEN DO YOU HAVE TO USE IT?this tense is used to speak about actions begun in the past, but that have consequences on the present
HOW DO YOU FORM IT ?
SUBJECT + HAVE/HAS + PAST PARTICIPLE
Ex. I have broken my legThis thing happened in the past, but I still have a broken leg now
NEGATIVE AND INTERROGATIVE FORMNEGATIVE ONE:subject + have/has not + past participleex. I have not (haven’t) done my homework yet
INTERROGATIVE ONE:have/has + subject + past participleex. Have you done your homework yet?
FOR AND SINCE We use them to speak about the moment when an action, that has lasted some time, began
FORhow much time
SINCE when
Ex. For We have lived in this house since 2002
Ex. Since I have studied French for many years
JUST, ALREADY, STILL AND YETwe use them to say an action has finished not much time ago, or it is going on even now, or it has ended before we thought
JUST AND ALREADY
You can use them in positive and interrogative sentences
ex. Sally has just left university Sally ha appena lasciato l’università
This action has ended recently, and now Sally is a graduate (consequence on the present)
ex. Have you already eaten? Avete già mangiato?
We use already when we want to underline the surprise about an action. In this case I thought you’d have dinner later, so I’m surprised.
