1
Hey everyone!
2
Today we are going to learn about the Present Perfect Tense.
3
We'll cover how to form it, how to ask and answer questions, and when to use the Present Perfect Tense.
4
Are you ready to get perfect?
5
Let's do it!
6
Let's start with the form of present perfect.
7
You just need a subject, the verb have or has, and the past participle.
8
That's the third form of verbs.
9
Here are a few examples.
10
I have eaten breakfast every day this week.
11
For regular verbs, the past participle is the same as the past simple form.
12
You just have to add "-ed", to the base verb.
13
For example, They have worked hard this month.
14
We have watched that play already.
15
I have studied every day this semester.
16
Great!
17
Do I use this rule for irregular verbs too?
18
Actually no. Irregular verbs don't have one rule.
19
They change in different ways.
20
You'll need to memorize the past participle forms of irregular verbs just like you did for the past simple tense.
21
Check out our past simple lesson if you haven't already.
22
I have been to many countries with my family.
23
I have eaten at JJ's diner for 20 years.
24
I have done all of my chores today.
25
Now that we understand how to form present perfect, let's take a look at when to use it.
26
The easiest way to use present perfect is to think about timeframes.
27
This means the action happened in a timeframe that started but is not finished yet.
28
Here's an easy example.
29
I have traveled to 20 countries.
30
The timeframe in this example is my life.
31
I was born and I am still alive, so my life is not finished.
32
We often use
33
Present Perfect for life experience for this reason.
34
Can you name some other time frames that started but are not finished?
35
Today, this week, this month, this year.
36
We can use
37
Present Perfect for all of these.
38
But, if the time frame is finished, we can't use present perfect
39
Use past simple for finish times like yesterday, last month and last year
40
Here are a few more examples I flew twice last week
41
They have played 18 holes of golf today
42
He has read three books this month.
43
She has never eaten sushi before.
44
I noticed the word never in the last example.
45
When do we use ever or never?
46
Good question.
47
We use ever and never only to talk about the time frame of life experiences, not for shorter time frames.
48
Use ever to ask if something has happened at least once, and use never if the action has not happened at least once.
49
For example, Have you ever gone to a theme park?
50
Yes, I have been to Panda Land.
51
It was magical.
52
Have you ever written a book?
53
Yes, I have written three books of short stories for my kids.
54
They love them.
55
Have you ever climbed a mountain?
56
I have never climbed a mountain, but I'd love to.
57
Now let's talk about how to make negative sentences using present perfect.
58
Just add not after have or has.
59
You can also use contractions.
60
Have not becomes haven't.
61
and has not becomes hasn't for example I haven't visited
62
Japan he hasn't played basketball this year
63
she hasn't done her homework what about asking questions using present perfect start the sentence with have
64
or has then add the subject
65
and past participle that's it for example have you read
66
this book yes I have have you cooked dinner no
67
I haven't another way to use present perfect is with these three words just already
68
and yet the word just means something happened very recently.
69
For example, I have just finished my house chores.
70
We use already if something happened earlier than expected or to emphasize that it happened.
71
I'm going to feed the cat.
72
You don't need to, I have already fed him.
73
Let's go see the new comedy movie no I've already seen it the word yet is used in questions
74
and negatives and means something hasn't happened up to now
75
but we expect it to happen in the future have you
76
gone to the supermarket yet I need those ingredients to make
77
lunch let's do a quick review the present perfect is formed with subject plus have
78
or has and the past participle
79
and you can use it to talk about life experiences actions in unfinished timeframes
80
now it's your turn have you ever learned a new grammar tense
81
and loved it write your answer in the comments below
82
we hope this video helped you understand the present perfect keep practicing and soon you'll be a grammar master.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
