PRESENT PERFECT







1. We use the Present Perfect Tense to talk about experiences. It is important if we have done it in our lives or not. It is not important when we did it.

Examples: I have been abroad two times/Anna has never broken a leg/ have you ever eaten sushi?


We often use never and ever with the Present Perfect Tense to talk about experience.

2. We use the Present Perfect Tense to talk about an action which started in the past and continuous up to now.
Examples: - I have been a teacher for more than ten years./ We haven't seen Janine since Friday./How long have you been at this school?


We use for with a period of time, for example: a few days, half an hour, two years. We use since with the time when the action started, for example: last year, June 8, I met you.
