We use the Present Perfect to talk about experiences we

have had in our lives.

We use the Present Perfect when talking about an action

that happened at some point in the past. The date or time
that it happened is not important. The focus is on the action,
not when.
For example: I have visited South Africa.

The Present Perfect Tense is formed using the following structure:

Affirmative: Subject + Have / Has + Past Participle

Negative: Subject + Haven't / Hasn't + Past Participle

Question: Have / Has + Subject + Past Participle

A. Below, there are ten sentences about things I have done in my lifetime. Use the verbs
into the Present Perfect tense.

1. I ________________________________________________(live) in another country.

2. I ___________________________________________(eat) crocodile meat.

3. I __________________________________________(dance) in theatres across the world.

4. I ________________________________________________(work) in a famous theatre.

5. I ______________________________________ (pass) my driving test.

6. I ______________________________________________ (drive) a car.

7. I __________________________________________ (buy) a house.

8. I _________________________________________(meet) a famous actor.
