Present Perfect (1)

Practise the present perfect with us!

When do you use the present perfect?
The Present Perfect is used to describe events that happened at undefined points in time or very recently. You also use it for a finished action with a result in the present. For example: It has rained for two hours. Now the streets are wet. Signal words: since, for, ever, never, this month/week, today, just, yet, already, recently

How do you form the present perfect?
Use have/has with the past participle of the verb. The past participle (3rd form of the verb) is usually formed by adding "ed" to the end of the verb: watch - watched. But some verbs are irregular, you need to learn these by heart.
For example: "He has played tennis for five years". OR "I haven't bought Mum's birthday cake yet".
