Hi!

Last Wednesday we studied the Present Perfect tense  of verbs. This is not the first time, we have practiced questions with this tense before, but now we studying it closer.

How do we make it?

Present Simple To have     +     Past Participle of verb (3rd column)

I have                                        written                          Write  wrote  written

You have                                  arrived                           Arrive arrived arrived

He/she/it has                             seen                               See     saw    seen

Those are the singular forms. You can check your notebooks if you have doubts about the plural forms.

When we use the Past Simple (2nd column) it is because we are talking about an action that is completely finished, very often we say exactly when.
Example: Yesterday I had rice and chicken for lunch.

The Present Perfect, on the opposite is the tense we use when we are talking about action that started in the past but that perhaps is not finished
Students know some key words we may find the Present Perfect with:

Ever: Have you ever eaten crocodile meat?

Just: I have just seen your brother.

Already: they have already arrived.

Yet (negative verb): I haven't done my homework yet.

We continued working on the complaints worksheet. This time we practiced making requests. After a complaint, we usually make a request, that is, we ask somebody to do something to make things better for us.

We can start or request in different ways:

Could you please... ( turn down the radio)

I would be grateful if you could give me back my pen.

I would appreciate it if you could stop making noise.
