Present perfect statements

“We use the present perfect to talk about activities or events in the past.
We don´t know or remember when exactly but they happened in the past.
That´s why it says here: indefinite time before now, because we don´t
mention when.”

Affirmative sentences:
subject + have/has + past participle
Example: I´ve been to Europe.
My sister has been to Spain.

Negative sentences:
Subject + haven´t /hasn´t + past participle
Example: I haven´t traveled to the United States.
My best friend hasn´t tried Brazilian food.

“We often use the words always, never, once/twice/ many times or before
in this tense.”

Always & Never:

subject + have/has + always/never + past participle
Example: I´ve always wanted to go sailing.
I´ve never done that.

“The first sentence expresses that this is a wish I started having at some
moment in the past and I continue to have this wish NOW. The second
sentence expresses that even now, I haven´t gone sailing.”

“These are common in English to express we haven´t tried or done

something new”. Now write:

Once/ twice/ many times/ before:

Subject + have (haven´t)/has (hasn´t) + participle + once/twice/many
times/before.
Example: I´ve gone to Cancun twice.
My friend´s traveled to China before.

“We can use these expressions because we´re NOT saying WHEN, we´re
saying HOW MANY TIMES. When we say “before” we mean “before this
moment.””
“The past participle is a new form of verbs we need to learn. We´ve seen
present form, continuous and past form of verbs. Now we need to learn the
participle form.

When a verb is a regular past verb, it´s the same exact verb for past
participle.”

So learning those is easy because we should already know a lot of regular

past verbs. The new ones we need to learn are the irregulars.

“If the verb is an irregular past verb then the participle is irregular too.”
