PRESENT PERFECT
7
Imagine I want to know something about you, something you did in the past or during your life but I don’t want or I don’t need to know the specified time in the past in which that event took place. Have you ever travelled to London? Has your mother ever read a book in English? Has your partner ever spoken with a foreign person? Have you ever eaten insects? Yes, I have No, I haven’t Yes, she/he has No, she/he hasn’t...

PRESENT PERFECT
9
So…let’s talk about the FORM of the PRESENT PERFECT TENSE first…OK?
In Spanish it is called PRETÉRITO PERFECTO COMPUESTO And it is formed by 2 things: the auxiliary verb HABER and PARTICIPLE ( participio) For Example… Ella ha trabajado en esa oficina durante 6 años She has worked in that office for six years. Auxiliary HAVE/HAS past participle V+ED/3rd column
10
The Present Perfect Tense in English is formed by 2 things:
the auxiliary verb HAVE and HAS (in all form: Affirmative, Negative and Interrogative) the PAST PARTICIPLE For Example… They have never been in Japan Auxiliary HAVE/HAS past participle BE -WAS/WERE.-BEEN
11
Here are some more examples!
I have already eaten breakfast. She has seen that movie before. We have dealt with customers for many years. In these examples the past participle has an irregular form. Just like the lists you’ve been studying She has used a cash register before. He has worked for that company since May. We have already served their food. In these examples the past participle has a regular form and looks just the the simple past tense, but it’s not.
12
We often use CONTRACTIONS with this tense.
I have I’ve I haven´t You have You’ve you haven´t We have We’ve We haven´t They have They’ve They haven´t He has He’s He hasn´t She has She’s She hasn´t It has It’s It hasn´t I have lived in Florida for two years. I’ve lived in Florida for two years
13
So now that we’ve talked about the form (words) of the PRESENT PERFECT, we can now look at the reasons (function) we use it and see in what situations we need it. There are 2 main reasons we use the PRESENT PERFECT TENSE. They are completely different and have no connection to one another.
14
Reason #1 We use the PRESENT PERFECT TENSE to talk about 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 sometime before now. But not any specific time. I’ve already eaten breakfast. She’s seen that movie before. When did it happen?
15
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 worked at a job you really loved? Has she ever worked at a job she really hated? Have they ever used a cash register? Have you ever supervised other employees? The short answer is… Yes, I have. No, I haven’t Yes, she has. No, she hasn’t.
16
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.)
17
3. YET / STILL (aún/todavia…)
Reason #2 To talk about something that began in the past and is realted to the present tense. For example: I’ve JUST watched that movie, can we choose another one? 1. JUST (acabar de…) I have JUST finished my homework, can I go out with my friends? 2. ALREADY (ya…) She has ALREADY finished her homework, that’s why she is watching TV. 3. YET / STILL (aún/todavia…) I haven’t finished my homework YET (negative /interrogative) I STILL haven’t finished my homework (negative)
18
I’ve already eaten breakfast. She’s already read that book.
POSITION ALREADY /JUST I have ALREADY / JUST spoken to Peter about the party I’ve already eaten breakfast. She’s already read that book. You’re too late. He’s already left for school. YET I have not spoken to Peter about the party YET Have you spoken to Peter about the party YET? You STILL haven’t bought your mother a present She STILL hasn’t seen that movie Have you bought your mother a present YET? Has she seen that movie YET? Have they left for school YET? STILL I STILL have not spoken to Peter about the party
19
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.
20
USED WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT
yet? YET (aún, todavía no) USED WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT 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?)
21
USED WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT
still STILL(aún, todavía no) USED WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT Still means that something that we expected has happened or hasn't happened. We usually put it at the between the subject and have . It Examples She hasn’t phoned Peter YET She STILL hasn’t phoned Peter I haven’t finished the book YET I STILL haven’t finished the book Peter hasn’t introduced me that handsome boy YET Peter STILL hasn’t introduced me that handsome boy
22
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. 1. SINCE + POINT IN TIME Use the present perfect with “since” + point in time (since 5:00, since Monday, since 1994) to show when something started. I’ve worked at this job since last year. He’s lived in Florida since March. They’ve been married since 1985. I’ve lived in Lake Worth since I moved to Florida.
23
How do we ask questions using this tense?
2. 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. They’ve been married for a long time. So…… How do we ask questions using this tense? When we want to know the length of time something has taken place we use the question words “HOW LONG?” How long has she studied English at the school?
24
PAST SIMPLE vs PRESENT PERFECT
25
If we want to ask a question about something that happened at a specific time in the past, we wouldn’t use the present perfect tense. We need to use a different tense. Can you guess which one? You’re right! The simple past tense. When did they use a cash register? They used a cash register last year. When did you supervise other people? I supervised other people two years ago. Last year, yesterday, two years ago, last week are all words we use with the simple past tense
26
EVER : In questions (Alguna vez) NEVER : Negative sense (Nunca)
Have you ever travelled to London? Have your mother ever read a book in English? Have your partner ever spoken with a foreign person? Have you ever eaten insects? Experiences at a time in the past, an unspecified time I have visited Rome a few times ( during my life) I have written some books Yes, I have No, I haven’t Yes, she/he has No, she/he hasn’t... NEVER I have NEVER travelled… She/He has NEVER travelled… EVER : In questions (Alguna vez) NEVER : Negative sense (Nunca)
27
PRESENT PERFECT vs PAST SIMPLE
It doesn’t specify the time in the past You have studied a lot in the school Have you ever failed an exam? I’ve seen DiCaprio’s new film PAST SIMPLE It specifies the time in the past. Events at a specific time in the past. I had an English exam Did you fail Yesterday’s exam? I went to the cinema on Friday Time expressions indicating unfinished period TODAY THIS WEEK THIS MONTH Time expressions YESTERDAY A WEEK AGO LAST YEAR IN 1998 WHEN WHAT TME HOW LONG AGO
28
Often when we’re speaking, we go back and forth between these two tenses—the present perfect and the simple past tense. Take a look at this example. Miko: Have you ever supervised other people? Tanaya: Yes, I have. Miko Tanaya Miko: When did you do that? Tanaya: I supervised others last year in my previous job.
