PART IV

 

The Present Perfect Tense

 

Bob and Mary have been on holiday for a week. They've visited a lot of tropical beaches and they've swum in the blue sea. Have they bought any souvenirs yet? No, they haven't.

 

& We form the Present Perfect tense with the auxiliary verb have/has and the past participle. We form the past participle of regular verbs by adding -ed to the verb.

e.g. play - play ed

We form the past participle of irregular verbs differently.

e.g. see - seen

We form questions by putting have/ has before the subject.

e.g. Have they read the book?

We form negations by putting not between have/has and the past participle.

e.g. He has not/hasn't repaired the TV yet.

 

S + have has V3/ed

She has written a new book.

I have rung her up today.

S + have has not V3/ed

She has not finished her work.

They have not seen this film.
