Present Perfect

Present Perfect

Review - Unit 3

Use

• We use the present perfect to talk about experience without specifying when exactly when it happened.

• We use the past simple to talk about past events and when we want to mention the moment/time they happened.

Structure

• Affirmative: I have walked

• Negative: I have not walked

• Interrogative: Have you walked?

Past Participles

• We make the past participle of regular verbs by adding -ed to the base form of the verb

• There are no rules to form past participles of irregular verbs. For example: see -> saw / be -> been, etc.

Multiple Select

Do you remember the difference between BEEN and GONE?

• We use BEEN to say someone went to a place and then returned.

• We use GONE to say someone went to a place and they are still there.

Present perfect vs Past Simple

• We use the present perfect to talk about life events/experiences without saying when they happened

• We use the simple past to give more information about a life event, such as the time or place.
