5 Goals By lesson’s end the learner will be able to: 1.Define the English Present Perfect. 2.Provide examples of the regular formation of the tense. 3.Provide examples of the irregular formation of the tense. 4.Use the English Present Perfect in context.

6 The Present Perfect In English the Present Perfect indicates an action that has been completed in the recent past. For example: Yesterday I walked home from school. In this example we see that: – The action occurred recently: Yesterday – The action was completed entirely: There is nothing left to say. Can anyone think of a Present Perfect sentence?

7 The Present Perfect In English the Present Perfect is created by adding ‘-ed’ to a regular verb. For example: To walk – Infinitive form I walked – Present Perfect To watch – Infinitive form I watched – Present Perfect To call – Infinitive form I called – Present Perfect Can anyone think of similar examples of ‘-ed’ verbs?

8 The Present Perfect As we have seen in English the Present Perfect is created by adding ‘-ed’ to a regular verb. For example: To walk – Infinitive form I walked – Present Perfect There are also irregular English verbs that do not follow this pattern, for example: To run – Infinitive form I ran – Present Perfect As you can see, irregular Present Perfect verbs change the entire form of the verb. Can anyone think of similar examples of irregular verbs?
