Grammar Note 1 Use the present perfect to talk about things that happened at an indefinite (not exact) time in the past, Use the present perfect when you don’t know when something happened or when the specific time is not important. Ex. I’ve visited the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Ex. Bruce has been to the Tate Museum in London. Remember! When the time is important, we use the simple past.

Note 1 Ex. I’ve visited the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Ex. Bruce has been to the Tate Museum in London. In the first example, do you think the speaker knows when the action happened? Yes Why doesn’t he say it then? Because it is NOT IMPORTANT! What about the second sentence?

The flight has been cancelled. The result of the action is important in the present. The flight has been cancelled. The result: We won’t be able to fly.

Been to and gone to She has been to the supermarket. (been to  the person is back) She has gone to the supermarket. (gone to  the person in still there). Where have you been to?

We use the present perfect with often, twice, or many times for something that happened several times at an indefinite past.

Note 2 b. We use the present perfect with always for something that continues up to the present and with never for something that did not happen before now. I’ve always wanted to go to Rome. – something that continues up to the present. I’ve never gone. – something that did not happen before now.

Note 2 Use ever to ask questions. It means at any time before now. Use never for negative answers. Have you ever ridden an elephant? Yes, once. Yes, I once rode an elephant in India. No, never. No, I’ve never ridden an elephant. When we answer positively, we add more information. To answer negatively, we normally use never.

Note 2 D. I haven’t been to the beach lately. I have been to the beach recently. / I’ve recently been to the beach. I’ve just been to the beach. Which sentence means that I’ve just been to the beach a short time ago? Which sentence means I’ve been to the beach in the near past? Which sentence means I’ve not been to the beach in the near past?

Usage note In American English, we often use just and recently with the simple past. You can’t use lately with the simple past. I’ve just returned. I just returned. I returned lately. X Do not use the present perfect with adverbs that refer to the definite past time. I got back yesterday. NOT I’ve gotten back yesterday.
