    Solets talk about the FORM of the

    PRESENT PERFECT TENSE firstOK?


    The Present Perfect Tense is formed by 2 things:

    the auxiliary verb HAVE and HAS

    (in all form: Affirmative, Negative and Interrogative)

    the PAST PARTICIPLE

    For Example
    She has worked in that office for six years.

    auxiliary

    past participle

    Here are some more examples!


    I have already eaten breakfast.
    She has seen that movie before.
    We have dealt with customers for
    many years.

    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 an
    irregular form. Just
    like the lists youve
    been studying

    In these examples
    the past participle
    has a regular form
    and looks just the
    the simple past
    tense, but its not.

    Present Perfect

    S + Have/Has + Past Participle ( V3)

    We often use CONTRACTIONS with this tense.


    I have

    Ive

    I havent

    You have

    Youve

    you havent

    We have

    Weve

    We havent

    They have Theyve They havent


    He has

    Hes

    He hasnt

    She has

    Shes

    She hasnt

    It has

    Its

    It hasnt

    I have lived in Florida for two years.


    Ive lived in Florida for two years

    So now that weve 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.

    Do you want to guess?

    Reason

    for

    since

    With the words


    and
    to talk about something
    that began in the past and continues to now.
    For example:

    Ive studied at this school since last June.


    Shes lived in West Palm Beach for 2 months.

    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.
    Ive worked at this job since last year.
    Hes lived in Florida since March.
    Theyve been married since 1985.

    Ive lived in Lake Worth since I moved to


    Florida.

    Present Perfect with since

    e.g They have had their museum since 2000.

    This means that they started the museum in


    2000 and they still have it today.

    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 something has lasted.
    Ive worked at this job for one year.
    Hes lived in Florida for 9 months.
    Theyve 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 AEC?

    Write affirmative and negative sentences


    using the Present Perfect tense using the
    words given.
    a. He / lose / his passport. Hes lost his passport.
    b. We / not / finish / our work.
    c. They / buy / a new house.
    d. I / visit / New York / five times.
    e. They / go / to the cinema.
    f. I / not / do / any homework / this week.
    g. We / not / study / French.
