Present perfect tense
1. We use the present perfect tense to talk about an action that started in the past and continues to the present.
I have lived here since I was born.
2. We use the present perfect tense to talk about an action that happened in the past and has a connection with the present.
Eddie has just eaten Hobo's food.
(Eddie ate the food, and now Hobo has nothing to eat.)
3. We also use the present perfect tense to talk about how many times an action has happened till now.
I have already read this book many times.
We can use these time expressions with the present perfect tense.
already yet ever
never just recently
since for
We make positive statements in the Present Perfect tense like this:
I/You/We/They have + arrived.
He/She/It has + arrived.
We make negative statements in the Present Perfect tense like this:
I/You/We/They have not + arrived.
He/She/It has not + arrived.
have not = haven't
has not = hasn't
Have I/you/we/they + arrived?
Has he/she/it + arrived?
Yes, I/you/we/they have.
he/she/it has.
No, I/you/we/they haven't.
he/she/it hasn't.
We form the past participles of regular verbs by adding -ed, just as what we do to form the simple past tense of these verbs.
| Most verbs | +ed | finish→finished |
| Verbs ending in -e | +d | change→changed |
| Verbs ending in a consonant +y | -y+ied | carry→carried |
| Short verbs ending in a vowel + a consonant | double the consonant +ed | stop→stopped |
We form the past participles of irregular verbs differently. Here are some examples.
| No change | come→come hurt→hurt |
| Change the vowel | hold→held win→won |
| Change the consonant | lend→lent build→built |
| Change the vowel(s) and the consonant(s) | catch→caught keep→kept forget→forgotten tell→told |
| Others | be→been have→had fall→fallen fly→flown draw→drawn see→seen |
