 PRESENT PERFECT TENSE
- To make the positive present perfect tense, use: 'have' / 'has' + the past participle
- Make the past participle by adding 'ed' to regular verbs (for example, 'play' becomes
'played')
- There are a few verbs that change their spelling when you add 'ed' (for example, 'study'
becomes 'studied')
- We also have some completely irregular verbs

When do we use present perfect? We use this tense for unfinished and finished actions.
Unfinished Actions
1: We use this tense when we want to talk about unfinished actions or states or habits that
started in the past and continue to the present. Usually we use it to say how long something
has happened.
I've known Karen since 1994.
She's lived in London for three years.
I've worked here for six months.
'Since' and 'For'
We use 'since' with a fixed time in the past (2004, April 23rd, last year). The fixed time can be
another action, which is in the past simple (since I was at school, since I arrived).
I've known Sam since 1992.
I've liked chocolate since I was a child.
She's been here since 2pm.
We use 'for' with a period of time (2 hours, three years, six months).
I've known Julie for ten years.
I've been hungry for hours.
She's had a cold for a week.
Finished Actions
2: Life experience. These are actions or events that happened sometime during a person's life.
We don't say when the experience happened, and the person needs to be alive now. We often
use the words 'ever' and 'never' here.
I have been to Tokyo.
They have visited Paris three times.
We have never seen that film.
3: With an unfinished time word (this month, this week, today). The period of time is still
continuing.
I haven't seen her this month.
She's drunk three cups of coffee today.
I've already moved house twice this year!
- We CAN'T use the present perfect with a finished time word.
NOT: I've seen him yesterday.
4: A finished action with a result in the present (focus on result). We often use the present
perfect to talk about something that happened in the recent past, but that is still true or
important now. Sometimes we can use the past simple here, especially in US English.
I've lost my keys (so I can't get into my house).
She's hurt her leg (so she can't play tennis today).
They've missed the bus (so they will be late).
5: We can also use the present perfect to talk about something that happened recently, even if
there isn't a clear result in the present. This is common when we want to introduce news and
we often use the words 'just / yet / already / recently'. However, the past simple is also correct
in these cases, especially in US English.
The Queen has given a speech.
I've just seen Lucy.
The Mayor has announced a new plan for the railways.
Common words in present perfect
- just: I am not hungry because I have just eaten lunch.
- yet: I have not read the book yet.
- never: I have never been in jail.
- already: I have already finished the project.
- ever: Has she ever called you?
- so far: I have bought two cars so far.
- up to now: I haven’t gotten into fights up to now.
- recently: I have recently spoken to him.
- since: I have lived in Sogamoso since I started working at Uniboyacá
- for: I have lived in Sogamoso for 5 years.
