We use the present perfect simple to talk about EXPERIENCES.

Look at the form: HAVE (I, YOU, WE, THEY) or HAS (HE, SHE, IT) + 3RD COLUMN/PAST PARTICIPLE

Let’s write some sentences? Below you’ll find affirmative ones to talk about experience:

1. I have eaten(eat) lobster. And you?

2. Sonia has visited(visit) every country in Europe.
3. My brothers have been(be) to Germany.
4. We have finished (finish) the exercise.
5. I have had(have) a shower already.

How about experiences you haven’t had? Write negative sentences:

1. I haven’t seen (see) a horror movie.

2. I haven’t eaten(eat) spiders.
3. My mother hasn’t been (be) to Alaska.
4. John and Kate haven’t gotten (get) married.
5. Henry hasn’t finished (finish) his exercise yet.

To make questions, we can’t forget to write auxiliary verbs ‘have’ or ‘has’ at the beginning of the sentence. Look at
the example:

Have you finished your exercise? Or Has Louis brought the food?
Now, your turn!
1. Has Jake finished his lunch?
2. Have you been to Nepal?
3. Have you eaten too many chocolate eggs?
4. Have your cousin visited you?
5. Have you ever eaten sashimi?

Now, write some example sentences about yourself and your own experiences:

1. I haven't traveled abroad yet.

2. My dad has visited several countries for his work.

3. My brother has been in Manta this month.

4. I have been dancing in a school parade.

5. I have been listening to a lot of music in English.
