USE 1: Unspecified Time before Now
We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The
exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions
such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, etc. We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific
expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
Examples:
- I have seen that movie twenty times.
- There have been many earthquakes in Ecuador.
- Have you read the book yet?
