CHRISTIAM SERRANO
What I have done in life!
In this lesson, you will learn how to describe
events and situations that started in the past
and are still taking place in present time. For
that purpose, we will be working on the
present perfect tense.
Present perfect.
Present perfect.
Present perfect.
Present perfect.
Present perfect.
Present perfect.
Yet, just and already-Have you ever…?
Yet, just and already-Have
you ever…?
Yet, just and already-Have
you ever…?
Yet, just and already-Have you ever…?
With the words “for” and “since” to talk about something that began
in the past and continues to now.
For example: I’ve studied at this school since last June.
She’s lived in West Palm Beach for 2 months.

1. SINCE + POINT IN TIME


Use the present perfect with “since” + point in time (since 5:00, since Monday,
since 1994) to show when something started.

I’ve worked at this job since last year.


He’s lived in Florida since March.
They’ve been married since 1985.

2. SINCE can also introduce a time clause.

I’ve lived in Lake Worth since I moved to Florida.


FOR + LENGTH OF TIME
Use the Present perfect with “for” + length of time (for ten minutes, for two
weeks, for years, for a long time) to show how long a present condition has
lasted.

I’ve worked at this job for one year.


He’s lived in Florida for 9 months.
They’ve been married for a long time.

So……
How do we ask questions using this tense?
When we want to know the length of time
something has taken place we use the question
words “HOW LONG?”
How long has she studied English at the AEC?
