• Identify and use the present perfect tense of the verbs correctly
• Compose clear and coherent sentences using the present perfect tense of
verbs

II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

The present perfect is a verb tense which is used to show that an action
has taken place once or many times before now. The present perfect is most
frequently used to talk about experiences or changes that have taken place, but
there are other less common uses as well.

The present perfect is used to describe:

 An action or situation that started in the past and continues in the present.
Example: I have lived in Bristol since 1984 (= and I still do.)
 An action performed during a period that has not yet finished.
Example: She has been to the cinema twice this week (= and the week isn't
over yet.)
 A repeated action in an unspecified period between the past and now.
Example: We have visited Portugal several times.
 An action that was completed in the very recent past, expressed by 'just'.
Example: I have just finished my work.
 An action when the time is not important.
Example: He has read 'War and Peace'. (= the result of his reading is
important)

Forming the present perfect

The present perfect of any verb is composed of two elements: the appropriate form
of the auxiliary verb to have (present tense), plus the past participle of the main
verb. The past participle of a regular verb is base+ed, e.g. played, arrived, looked.

Affirmative

Plants Turned into Medicine

The people in the countryside and even in cities use herbal cures for common
ailments. The rising cost of medicines has turned the attention of medical scientist to
herbal cures. Herbalists or “herbalarious” have proven that plants are effective in treating
certain diseases.
“So far, we have analyzed 300 plants,” says Mrs. Ludivina S. de Padua, director of
U.P. Los Baños Medical Plant Program, “and we have discovered that what hebalists are
doing has scientific basis.”
From the studies, Mrs. De Padua, together with G.C. Lugod and J.V. Pancho have
published two handbooks on Philippine Medical Plants. She has lectured on plants and
their cures and has spoken in medical seminars on medical plants.
