Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Mr. English Channel,

where learning English is easy and fun.

I'm Emily.

Hello, Emily.

Hi, everyone.

It's great to be here with you all.

How are you today, Emily?

I'm doing great, Paul.

I'm very happy to be here.

How about you?

I'm fantastic.

I feel full of energy today.

That's wonderful to hear.

Before we start our topic today,

we want to say thank you for listening.

Please, if you like our channel,

subscribe and share it with your friends.

And give us a like.

It helps us a lot.

Yes, please do.

Your support is amazing.

So, Emily, what is our topic for today?

Today, we have a very special topic.

We are going to talk about our day.

But we will use a special grammar.

We are going to use the present perfect.

Ah, the present perfect.

It sounds important.

Is it difficult?

Not at all.

It's super useful and easy once you see how it works.

It helps us connect the past with the present.

Okay, I'm ready.

So, let's talk about our day.

You go first.

What has happened in your day so far?

Mmm, good question.

Well, let me think.

I have had my breakfast.

You have had your breakfast.

Okay, so the action is in the past, right?

You finished your breakfast.

Yes, exactly.

I finished it this morning,

but it's connected to now because I am not hungry.

See?

Past action, present result.

Ah, I see.

The result is you are not hungry now.

That makes sense.

Okay, my turn.

I have drunk two cups of coffee today.

Two cups?

Wow, so you are full of energy now.

Yes, that's the result.

I have drunk coffee, so now I am awake and ready.

That is a perfect example of the present perfect.

It is.

And our listeners can see the structure.

We use the verb have and then another verb.

For you, it was drunk.

For me, it was had.

Right.

So, the main verb is in a special form.

It's called the past participle.

Let's look at the structure.

It's subject plus have or has plus past participle.

Yes!

Let's break that down.

I, you, we, and they use have.

For example, I have eaten, or they have started.

And he, she, and it use has.

For example, she has finished her work,

or he has called his friend.

Perfect.

So, let's talk more about our day.

Paul, have you checked your email this morning?

Oh, that's a question.

Good one!

Yes, I have checked my email.

I did it one hour ago.

Great.

So, the verb is check.

The past participle is checked.

This is a regular verb, we just add "-ed".

Yes, like work becomes worked, or clean becomes cleaned.

Regular verbs are easy.

I have worked a lot today.

Me too.

I have cleaned my apartment.

It looks so nice now.

Oh, that's great!

See, another connection to the present.

You cleaned in the past,

and now your apartment is clean.

Wonderful!

Exactly!

What about irregular verbs?

Like my example, I have had breakfast.

100

The verb is have, and the past participle is had.

101

Or my example, I have drunk coffee.

102

The verb is drink, and the past participle is drunk.

103

These are irregular.

104

They don't end in ED.

105

We have to learn them.

106

Yes, but we can learn them with practice.

107

Let's use another one.

108

Let's talk about lunch.

109

Paul, have you eaten lunch yet?

110

Hmm, no, I haven't eaten lunch yet.

111

I am getting a little hungry now.

112

Ah, so you used the negative form, I haven't eaten.

113

That's have plus not.

114

We say haven't.

115

Yes, haven't or hasn't.

116

If you ask me about my brother,

117

has your brother eaten lunch yet?

118

I can say, no, he hasn't eaten lunch yet.

119

Perfect.

120

And I used a special word in my question.

121

I said, yet.

122

Have you eaten lunch yet?

123

We use yet in questions and negative sentences.

124

Right.

125

It's for something we expect to happen.

126

I expect to eat lunch today.

127

So you can ask me with yet,

128

and I can answer, no, not yet.

129

Exactly.

130

How about another useful word, already?

131

We use it for something that happened sooner than expected.

132

Oh, yes.

133

For example, if you think I haven't checked my email,

134

you could be surprised.

135

You could say, wow, you have already checked your email.

136

Yes, it's true.

137

I have already planned our next podcast episode.

138

You have?

139

Already?

140

Wow, Emily, you are fast.

141

That's a great example.

142

I have already planned.

143

Thank you, Paul.

144

So, we have yet for questions and negatives,

145

and already for positive sentences.

146

What about the word just?

147

Ah, just is great.

148

It means something happened a very short time ago.

149

For example, my phone just made a sound.

150

I can say, I have just received a message.

151

Perfect.

152

It happened maybe one minute ago.

153

Very, very recent.

154

My mom called me this morning.

155

When she called, I was in the shower.

156

I called her back later.

157

I can say, I have just talked to my mom.

158

That's a perfect use of just.

159

So, let's practice a bit more.

160

I will ask you some questions about your day, Emily.

161

Okay.

162

I'm ready.

163

Okay.

164

Hmm.

165

Have you read a book today?

166

No, I haven't read a book today.

167

I haven't had time yet, but I want to.

168

Okay.

169

Good answer.

170

The verb is read and the past participle is read.

171

The spelling is the same,

172

but the sound is different.

173

Read, present, read, past participle.

174

Yes, that's a tricky one.

175

Good point.

176

Okay.

177

Next question.

178

Have you listened to music today?

179

Oh, yes.

180

I have listened to a lot of music.

181

It helps me work.

182

Me too.

183

I love music.

184

What music have you listened to?

185

I've listened to some happy pop music.

186

It gives me energy.

187

What about you?

188

I've listened to some calm, relaxing music.

189

It helps me focus.

190

See?

191

The present perfect is everywhere in our conversation.

192

It feels very natural.

193

It does.

194

Okay, my turn to ask you a question.

195

Have you made any plans for the weekend?

196

Ooh, a question about the weekend.

197

Yes, I have made some plans.

198

I want to see a movie with my friends.

199

That sounds fun.

200

Make is another irregular verb.

201

The past participle is made.

202

She has made a cake.

203

He has made a mistake.

204

Hopefully not a mistake.

205

But yes, made is the form we need.

206

I have made a cup of tea for us, Paul.

207

It's on the table.

208

You have?

209

Oh, thank you, Emily.

210

You are the best.

211

You have made my day better.

212

You are very welcome.

213

This is another good example.

214

The tea is here now,

215

so my past action of making tea has a result in the present.

216

Yes, the result is a delicious cup of tea for me.

217

Thank you.

218

Let's think about more daily activities.

219

What about going places?

220

Have you gone to the supermarket this week?

221

Yes, I have gone to the supermarket.

222

I went on Monday, so my refrigerator is full now.

223

Great.

224

The verb go has the past participle gone.

225

But what about been?

226

Sometimes people say, I have been to the supermarket.

227

What's the difference?

228

Ah, that is a fantastic question.

229

It's a little advanced, but very useful.

230

Gone means you went somewhere and you are still there.

231

You have not come back.

232

Okay.

233

So if my mom asks, where is David?

234

I can say, he has gone to the store.

235

It means he is at the store now.

236

Exactly.

237

But been means you went somewhere and you came back.

238

It's an experience.

239

So if I ask you,

240

have you ever been to Italy?

241

I am asking about your life experience.

242

You went to Italy and you came back.

243

Yes, precisely.

244

So for my supermarket example,

245

I should say, I have been to the supermarket this week because I am here now.

246

I came back.

247

That makes so much sense.

248

Thank you for that.

249

So for our day, we usually use been.

250

I have been to the bank today.

251

This means I went, and now I am back.

252

You got it.

253

That's perfect.

254

So, listeners, when you talk about a place you visited and came back from, use been.

255

I've been to the park.

256

She's been to the doctor.

257

This is so helpful.

258

OK, let's talk about things we have not done.

259

This can also be interesting.

260

For example, I haven't watched any TV today.

261

Me neither.

262

I haven't watched any TV.

263

I've been too busy.

264

And I haven't called my sister yet.

265

I need to do that later.

266

Oh, yes.

267

And I haven't watered my plants.

268

Oh no. I need to do that after this.

269

Thanks for reminding me.

270

You're welcome.

271

So the things we haven't done are also important for our day.

272

are tasks for the future.

273

Yes.

274

The present perfect helps us see what is finished and what is not finished.

275

It organizes our day.

276

That's a great way to think about it.

277

It's like a to-do list.

278

I can say, I have checked my emails.

279

Check.

280

I have drunk my coffee.

281

Check.

282

I haven't eaten lunch yet.

283

Ooh, need to do this.

284

Exactly.

285

It's a status update for your day.

286

Let's try to have a small,

287

natural conversation about our morning using the present perfect.

288

Great idea.

289

I'll start.

290

Hi, Emily.

291

How is your day going?

292

Hi, Paul.

293

It's going well, thanks.

294

I've already finished my most important task for the day,

295

so I feel good.

296

That's great.

297

What was it?

298

I've written an important email.

299

It took a long time.

300

What about you?

301

Have you started your big project yet?

302

No, I haven't started it yet.

303

I've prepared everything I need,

304

but I haven't actually started the work.

305

I will do it after lunch.

306

Ah, that makes sense.

307

Well, you've already done the preparation,

308

so that is a good start.

309

Thank you.

310

I think so, too.

311

Hey, have you seen the news today?

312

No, I haven't seen the news.

313

Is there something interesting?

314

Not really.

315

Just the usual.

316

I read it online.

317

I've read the headlines.

318

Oh, okay.

319

Well, it was nice talking to you.

320

You, too.

321

Wow, Emily, that felt so natural.

322

And we used the present perfect many times.

323

I know.

324

We used finished, written, started,

325

prepared, done, seen, and read.

326

That was fantastic practice.

327

It really was.

328

And it shows how common this grammar is in daily conversation.

329

We use it all the time without thinking.

330

We do.

331

And we can also use it to ask about experiences, not just today.

332

For example, Paul, have you ever eaten pineapple on pizza?

333

An important question.

334

Yes, I have eaten pineapple on pizza.

335

I like it.

336

Me too.

337

It's delicious.

338

See, we use ever in questions about life experiences.

339

Have you ever?

340

And if the answer is no, we can use never.

341

For example, I have never tried sushi.

342

Oh, really?

343

You should.

344

It's amazing.

345

I have tried it many times.

346

Maybe one day.

347

So, ever for questions and never for negative experiences.

348

I have never been to Japan.

349

I have never seen snow.

350

Wow, really?

351

Really!

352

So, as we can see,

353

the present perfect is not just for our day.

354

It is also for our whole life.

355

It connects our past experiences to our present life.

356

That's a beautiful way to put it.

357

It's all about the connection,

358

what happened before, and how it affects now.

359

Yes.

360

So for our listeners, let's do a quick review.

361

The structure is have or has plus the past participle verb form.

362

We use it for recent past actions that have a result in the present.

363

I've lost my keys, so I can't get into my house now.

364

We use it with words like just for very recent actions,

365

already for actions that happened early,

366

and yet in questions and negatives for expected actions.

367

And we use it with ever and never to talk about life experiences.

368

Have you ever traveled alone?

369

I have never learned to swim.

370

That's a perfect summary, Paul.

371

You are a great student.

372

Thank you, Emily.

373

You are a great teacher.

374

I feel like I really understand the present perfect now.

375

It's not so scary.

376

It's not.

377

It's a friend.

378

It helps you express your experiences and your day in a more complete way.

379

So my challenge for our listeners is to think about their day.

380

What have you done today?

381

Ooh, I love that.

382

Think about it.

383

Have you eaten breakfast?

384

Have you talked to a friend?

385

Have you learned a new English word?

386

I am sure they have.

387

They have learned about the present perfect.

388

Yes, exactly.

389

They have done something wonderful for their English today.

390

That's so true.

391

Well, our time is almost up.

392

This has been a very productive episode.

393

We have talked a lot about the present perfect.

394

We have given a lot of examples.

395

And hopefully, we have helped our listeners understand it better.

396

I am sure we have.

397

Your explanations were so clear, Paul.

398

And yours were too, Emily.

399

It was great working with you on this.

400

It's always a pleasure.

401

And it's a pleasure to have all our listeners with us.

402

We hope you enjoyed this episode.

403

Yes, we do!

404

409

410

Please write in the comments below,

411

what is one thing you have done today?

412

What a perfect question!

413

It can be simple, I have drunk water,

414

or I have studied English.

415

We would love to read your answers.

416

Yes!

417

We can't wait to see what you write.

418

419

420

421

422

423

Bye, everyone.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
