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.
