(in all form: Affirmative, Negative and Interrogative)
the PAST PARTICIPLE

auxiliary

We have met each others for years.
Past participle has an irregular form.
She has played football when she was younger
He has worked for that company since May.
We have already served their food.
Past participle has a regular form

8. A completed past action at an unspecified time in the past.
Reason #1
A completed past action at an unspecified time in the past.
Perhaps we don’t remember when the action happened.
Maybe we don’t know when the action happened.
Or we just don’t care when the action happened.
The only thing that is important is that it happened sometimeS before now. But not any specific time.
I’ve already eaten breakfast.
She’s seen that movie before.
I’ve travelled to Scotland
When did it happen?

9. For example: I’ve studied at this school since last June.
Reason #2
With the words “for” and “since” to talk about something that began in the past and continues to now.
For example: I’ve studied at this school since last June.
She’s lived in West Palm Beach for 2 months.
Let’s we go back to reason 1

10. A completed past action at an unspecified time in the past.
Reason #1
A completed past action at an unspecified time in the past.
Perhaps we don’t remember when the action happened.
Maybe we don’t know when the action happened.
Or we just don’t care when the action happened.
The only thing that is important is that it happened sometimeS before now. But not any specific time.
I’ve already eaten breakfast.
She’s seen that movie before.
I’ve travelled to Scotland
When did it happen?

11. Have you ever….? The short answer is…
When we want to ask a question about something that happened at any time before now, we say:
Have you ever….?
Have you ever visited with your parent a place you really loved?
Has she ever visited a place she really hated?
Have they ever used a computer like this one?
Have you ever spoken with a famous person?
The short answer is…
Yes, I have.
No, I haven’t
Yes, she has.
No, she hasn’t.
You can also make the negation by using NEVER
No, I have NEVER visited a place I hated

12. EVER (alguna vez) NEVER (nunca)
Ever or never?
EVER (alguna vez)
NEVER (nunca)
USED WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT
Ever means 'at any time', the specific time is unknown or unnecessary, and is used in questions.
Example –
Have you ever met a famous person ?
(Did you meet a famous person at any time in the past.)
Never is originally a contraction of 'not ever'.
Never means the subject hasn't had a certain experience before.
Ex ample
Have you ever been abroad? No, I've never been abroad.
(I've never had that experience before.)

13. To emphasize the time that “thing” took place you can use
YET, ALREADY, JUST, STILL
JUST emphasises the idea of close to the present
I've JUST spoken to Jane. She's not going to join us for supper tonight.
ALREADY suggests that something has happened sooner than expected and again is linked with present time and therefore the present perfect:
Do you want me to make the salad for supper tonight? ~ I've already made it. It's on the table
YET . (NEG. INT)
I don't think you've met Rachel yet, have you? ~
No, I haven't. I've met a lot of your friends from work, but I've not met Rachel yet.
~ She's absolutely lovely. I'm sure you'll like her
STILL. (NEG.)
No, I haven't. I've met a lot of your friends from work, but I STILL have not met Rachel

14. USED WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT
Just or Already ?
ALREADY (ya)
JUST(acabo de ...)
USED WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT
Already means that something happened earlier than we expected.
Already usually goes after have or has and before the main verb.
subject+have/has+already+past part.
Examples - We've already had our breakfast. - When are you going to do your homework? - But I've already done it! - Do you want a cup of coffee? - No, thanks. I've already had one.“
Just means that something has happened in a very close time, right now or minutes ago, or maybe that day .
Just usually goes after have or has and before the main verb.
subject+have/has+just+past part.
Examples - We have just finished our breakfast, so we aren’t hungry (We have finished right know) - Have you done your homework? - Yes, I have just finished them I’m picking up the books.

15. USED WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT
yet?
YET (aún, todavía no)

Yet means that something that we expected has happened or hasn't happened. We usually put it at the end of a sentence.
Examples - Has the post arrived yet? (¿Aun no ha llegado el paquete?) - Have you done your homework? (¿Aun no has hecho tus deberes? no,
- Not yet aun no) - Haven't you got ready yet? Look at the time! (¿Aun no estas lista?)

1. SINCE + POINT IN TIME

I’ve worked at this job since last year.
He’s lived in Florida since March.
They’ve been married since 1985.
2. SINCE can also introduce a time clause.

19. How do we ask questions using this tense?
FOR + LENGTH OF TIME
Use the Present perfect with “for” + length of time (for ten minutes, for two weeks, for years, for a long time) to show how long a present condition has lasted.
I’ve worked at this job for one year.
He’s lived in Florida for 9 months.

33. PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE and CONTINUOS
The Present Perfect Tense is used to connect the past and the present, sometimes it is an action that started in the past, but is still happening today
For Example…
She has lived in Santander for ten years.
Meaning: She moved to Santander 10 years ago and she still lives here today
Present perfect: connects the past and the present

34. For Example… Susan has just mopped the floor, so don’t walk on it!
Another use is for recently finished actions ( often with JUST) (or YET for negative forms)
For Example…
Susan has just mopped the floor, so don’t walk on it!
Or: she hasn’t mopped the floor yet

35. PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOS
The presen perfect continuous is often very similar in meaning to the present perfect tense
Just like the Present Perfect, we can use it to talk about something that started in the past, but is still happening
But the present perfect continuous focuses more on the continuous action. The emphasis in on the duration of the action
My mum is very angry with us, we have walked on the wet floor and
she has been mopping the floor for hours
My mum told us not to walk on the floor, she told us:
Don’t walk on the floor, I have just mopped it

39. Review:
Both tenses can be often used in the same circumstance ( specially with live, work, and study + since and for)

Both tenses started in the past and they continue up to the present time
