Present Perfect. The present perfect tense of English. Mobile application in English | SpeakASAP®



This is the Present Perfect.

We say that someone did something did (and not just did ), went (and not just went ), drove (and not just drove ), bought (rather than bought ), met (rather than met ). In other words, at this point, action completed and there is some result of this action (or inaction).

To make a sentence, we need two elements:

have or has (have for I, we, you, they, has for he, she, it) + verb .
If it is correct, we substitute the ending -ed for it,
if incorrect - take it from the third column in the table of irregular verbs.

I have talked to my mother over the phone. – I spoke with my mom on the phone.
Sam has visited his close friends. – Sam visited of his close friends.
Mary has entered the institute. - Mary entered the institute .
The dog has eaten all its food. – Dog ate all his food.
We have seen this film already. – We have already seen this film.
You have painted a wonderful picture! – You painted a wonderful picture !
They have left the building. – They are left the building.

Please note that have / has are not translated, only the verb is translated!

Abbreviations for have / has:

looks like

Abbreviations	What	Examples
have = ‘ve	I've	I've talked to my mother.
	you've	You've painted a nice picture.
	we've	We've seen this film.
	they've	They've left the building.
has = ‘s	he's, Sam's	He's visited his friends.
	she's, Mary's	Mary's entered the institute.
	it's, the dog's	The dog's eaten its food.

To build a negative sentence (didn't see, didn't hear, didn't go), instead of have / has we put haven't (= have not) / hasn't (= has not).

I haven't ever seen this letter. – I have never seen this letter.
We haven't been to this country yet. – We have not yet been in this country.
My son hasn't ridden his bike. – My son did not ride a bicycle .
She hasn't gone on vacation yet. - She has not yet gone on vacation .
My cat hasn't stolen your ball. – My cat did not steal your ball .
You haven't eaten this dish before. – You have never eaten this dish before.
They haven't taken grandchildren for the weekend. - They did not take grandchildren for the weekend. nine0003

To ask a question, put have / has in first place , before the object.

Have you seen this girl before? Have you seen this girl before?
Have they listened to me? Did they listen to me?
Has she bought that hat? Did she buy that hat?
Has he gone to cinema? Has he gone to the movies?
Has the animal eaten that? Did the animal eat?
Have you received my letter? - Did you get my letter? nine0003

If the question begins with a question word (how, where, why), put this word first.

Why have you done this? - Why did you do it?
Where have you been? - Where have you been?
What have you seen? - What you see?
Why has she told lies? Why did she lie?
Who has sent you this letter? Who sent you this letter?

Questions starting with when (when) and what time (at what time) cannot be asked in the Present Perfect, because with their help we want to know about the time of the event, and this requires Past Simple time. nine0003

When did he arrive?
What time did it happen?

Words and expressions for Present Perfect. Pay attention to where they are in the sentence.

Words	Translation	Examples
ever	ever	Have you ever seen a lynx? Have you ever seen a lynx?

already	already (for affirmative proposals)	I've already taken out the rubbish, mum. Mom, I already took out the trash.
