Next

How did you do? Don't forget that when we use the present perfect to talk about life experience, we often don’t say exactly when an experience happened, because in this tense, we are interested in the experience itself.

On the next page Finn and Alice will tell you more about this - and they’ll introduce you to two little words that are very helpful when were talking about life experiences.

 

دستور زبان این جلسه

  • Form

    Positive
    The present perfect is made with subject + have/has + past participle.

    I've taught English in Italy and in Russia.

    Johnny Depp has starred in lots of brilliant films.

    Negative
    The negative present perfect is made with subject + have/has not + past participle.

    I haven't seen the first Bond film.

    Questions
    Present perfect yes/no questions are made from have/has + subject + past participle?

    Present perfect question word questions are made from question word +have/has + subject + past participle?

    Ever and never
    We often use the present perfect with the words ever or never. Ever mean at any time in someone's life. We usually use ever in questions.

    'Has he ever worked in China?' 'No, he hasn't.'

    Never means not at any time in someone's life.

    I've never seen the first Bond film.

    Sometimes we ask questions with never. Often we do this to express surprise:

    Have you never eaten a banana?

    Past participles
    The past participle is the third form of the verb. For example, with the verb to see, the three forms are: see, saw, seen.

    We use the past participle in present perfect sentences with ever and never.

    Have you ever eaten sushi?

    I've never seen the first Bond film.
