3. Present Perfect & Past Perfect  





WHAT IS PRESENT PERFECT?

We use present perfect to talk about a past action that still matters now. It connects the past to the present.

 

FORM

I / You / We / They + have + past participle

He / She / It + has + past participle

 

Subject

have / has

past participle

Example

I

have

finished

I have finished my work.

She

has

visited

She has visited London.

They

have

eaten

They have eaten lunch.

 

Remember: the past participle is the 3rd form of the verb — go – went – gone;  see – saw – seen;  eat – ate – eaten;  do – did – done.

 

WHEN DO WE USE IT?  (4 main uses)

Use

Example

1. A past action with a result NOW

I have lost my keys.  (I can’t find them now.)

She has cleaned her room.  (It is clean now.)

2. Life experience  (ever / never)

Have you ever seen a whale?

I have never been to Japan.

3. Started in the past, continues now  (since / for)

I have lived here since 2019.

I have lived here for 5 years.

4. Recently finished  (just / already)

He has just arrived.

We have already eaten.

 

RELATED WORDS  (SIGNAL WORDS)  —  MEMORIZE THESE!

These time words tell us when to use present perfect. Learn where they go in the sentence.

 

Signal word

Meaning / use

Where it goes

Example

already

done before expected  (positive ✓)

have/has + already + verb

I have already finished.

yet

not done until now  (question ? / negative ✗)

end of the sentence

Have you eaten yet?

I haven’t finished yet.

just

a very short time ago

have/has + just + verb

She has just left.

ever

at any time in your whole life  (question ?)

have/has + ever + verb

Have you ever climbed a mountain?

never

not at any time in your life

have/has + never + verb

I have never tried sushi.

since

from a point in time  (2019, Monday, February)

since + a specific time

I have known her since 2020.

for

for a length of time  (2 years, a week)

for + a length of time

I have known her for 2 years.

 

QUICK TIP — since vs for

since = a starting point  →  since Monday, since 2019, since Grade 1

for = how long  →  for two days, for an hour, for a month

 

PAST SIMPLE  vs  PRESENT PERFECT  (be careful!)

 

Past simple

Present perfect

Finished time?

YES — yesterday, last week, in 2020

NO finished time, or still now

Feeling

finished and gone

connected to now

Example

I visited London in 2020.

I have visited London.

 

Ask yourself: Is there a finished time word (yesterday, last week, in 2020)? If YES → past simple. If NO, or it still continues now → present perfect.

 

SHORT FORMS (contractions)

I have = I’ve        She has = She’s

have not = haven’t        has not = hasn’t

 

OVER TO YOU — Quick practice

1. I ______ (lose) my pencil. I can’t find it.

2. She ______ (live) in Taipei ______ 2021.

3. ______ you ______ (ever / see) a shark?

4. They have ______ (already / eat) dinner.

5. We ______ (know) our teacher ______ 3 years.

 

ANSWERS

#

Answer

Why

1

have lost

past action (lost) with a result now (can’t find)

2

has lived … since

started in the past, continues now; since + point in time

3

Have … ever seen

life experience question

4

already eaten

done before expected — positive

5

have known … for

started in the past, continues now; for + length of time

 

BONUS TOUCH-UP:  PAST PERFECT

Sometimes we need to show that one past thing happened before another past thing. We use had + past participle.

 

Signal word

Meaning / use

Where it goes

Example

before

shows the earlier action happened first

had + verb … before …

The train had left before I got to the station.

after

shows the later action came second

after … had + verb

After she had eaten, she went to bed.

by the time

the event was already done before that moment

By the time … had + verb

By the time we arrived, the film had started.

when

two past events — one earlier

had + verb … when …

She had finished her homework when her mum came home.

already

the earlier event was already done

had + already + verb

They had already left when we called.

 

Remember: past perfect = the earlier past. The other action (in past simple) happens after it.
