When do you use the present perfect?

Funciones del present perfect

El objetivo de este tiempo verbal es vincular el pasado con el presente. Sin embargo, la
atención recae en el resultado, es decir, lo que ha ocurrido o lo que no ha ocurrido.
Se pueden enlistar 5 funciones principales:

1. La acción se inició en el pasado y continúa en el presente. Por ejemplo:

I have lived in Veracruz since 1990 (He vivido en Veracruz desde 1990)

2. El tiempo de la realización de la acción no ha concluido. Por ejemplo:

They have gone to swim twice a week (Ellos han ido a nadar dos veces a la semana)

3. La acción se repite constantemente en un tiempo indeterminado entre el pasado y el

presente

She has visited that museum several times (Ella ha visitado ese museo varias veces)

4. La acción concluyó recientemente. Para este uso de usa just.

He has just finished his homework (Él apenas terminó su tarea)

5. El momento en que se realizó la acción no es relevante.

We haven’t watched Titanic (Nosotros no hemos visto Titanic)

What do you have to know to form the present perfect?

El present perfect, también conocido como present perfect simple o presente perfecto en
español, es uno de los tiempos verbales del presente en inglés. Su uso correcto es necesario
para expresar vivencias o recuerdos que ocurrieron hace tiempo, pero de los cuales todavía
se guarda memoria o tienen importancia en la actualidad. Gracias a esto, su uso es muy
común y es importante conocerlo a la perfección.

1.2.2 2. Questions and short answers using FOR, SINCE, con

EVER, NEVER, JUST, RECENTLY and ALREADY.
When do you use the following expressions: FOR, SINCE, con EVER, NEVER, JUST,
RECENTLY and ALREADY.
El uso de adverbios como yet, already, just y otros

Algunos adverbios de tiempo suelen acompañar al present perfect para enfatizar el momento
en que sucedió la acción. Los principales son:
a) Just (apenas)
b) Already (ya)
c) Yet (todavía, ya)
d) For (desde hace/hace)
e) Since (desde)
f) Ever (alguna vez)
g) How long (cuánto tiempo, cuánto tiempo hace que)
Ejemplos del present perfect con estos adjetivos:
I have just finished my exam (Apenas terminé mi examen)
He has already washed the dishes (Él ya lavó los platos)
The teacher has not corrected the homework yet (La profesora no ha corregido la tarea
todavía)
They have been in a relationship for 12 years (Ellos han estado en una relación por 12 años)
We have worked in this shop since January (Nosotros hemos trabajado en esta tienda desde
enero)
Have you ever had Indian food? (¿Alguna vez has comido comida india?)
How long have you been in this gym? (¿Por cuánto tiempo has estado en este gimnasio?)

1.2.4 4. Pronouns EACH OTHER, ONE ANOTHER, SOMEONE,

What are the pronouns used for: EACH OTHER, ONE ANOTHER, SOMEONE, and
ANYONE, EVERYONE AND NO ONE?

Anybody Everybody Nobody Somebody

cualquiera Todos Nadie Alguien
Anyone Everyone no one Someone

cualquier cosa Todo nada Algo
We use indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things without saying exactly who or what
they are.

8
 Universidad Nicaragüense de Ciencia y Tecnología
Dirección de Docencia

We use pronouns ending in -body or -one for people, and pronouns ending in -thing
for things:

Everybody enjoyed the concert.

I opened the door but there was no one at home.
It was a very clear day. We could see everything.
We use a singular verb after an indefinite pronoun:
Everybody loves Sally.
Everything was ready for the party.

When we refer back to an indefinite pronoun, we normally use a plural pronoun:

Everybody enjoyed the concert. They stood up and clapped.
I will tell somebody that dinner is ready. They have been waiting a long time.
In negative clauses, we use pronouns with no-, not pronouns with any-:
Nobody came. (NOT Anybody didn't come.)

We do not use another negative in a clause with nobody, no one or nothing:

Nobody came. (NOT Nobody didn't come.)
Nothing happened. (NOT Nothing didn't happen.)
We can add 's to an indefinite pronoun to make a possessive:
They were staying in somebody's house.
Is this anybody's coat?

We use else after indefinite pronouns to refer to other people or things:

All the family came, but no one else.
If Michael can't come, we'll ask somebody else.
I think this is somebody else's coat.
(learnenglish.britishcouncil.org, s.f.)
