UNIT 1-GETTING ACQUAINTED


GRAMMAR 1:  THE PRESENT PERFECT.

To make the positive present perfect tense, use:

  • 'have' / 'has' + the past participle
  • Make the past participle by adding 'ed' to regular verbs (for example, 'play' becomes 'played')
  • There are a few verbs that change their spelling when you add 'ed' (for example, 'study' becomes 'studied')
  • We also have some completely irregular verbs.
POSITIVE
Also, here's some help if you are not sure how to pronounce '-ed' at the end of a verb

NEGATIVE
The negative is really simple too. Just put 'not' after 'have' or 'has':

QUESTION.
To make a question, put 'have' or 'has' in front of the subject:


WH QUESTIONS
As you can imagine, for 'wh' questions, we just put the question word before 'have' or 'has':

GRAMMAR 2: 
THE PRESENT PERFECT: ALREADY, YET, EVER, BEFORE AND NEVER.

Fuente:https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Usb7cIKZXiY/mqdefault.jpg


The present perfect tense is often used with adverbs such as ever, never, already, yet, and before to describe actions or events that happened at an unspecified time before now. Here is a brief explanation of each adverb:

  • Ever: This adverb expresses the idea of an unidentified time before now. It is used in questions and negative questions, and is always placed before the main verb (past participle). 
For example, "Have you ever been to England?" or "Haven't they ever been to Europe?"
  • Never: This adverb means "at no time before now" and is the same as "not...ever." It is used in negative statements and is always placed before the main verb (past participle).
For example, "I have never visited Berlin.

  • Already: This adverb refers to an action that has happened at an unspecified time before now. It is used in positive sentences and is placed before the main verb (past participle) or at the end of the sentence. 
For example, "I've already drunk three coffees this morning" or "Don't write to John, I've already done it.

  • Yet: This adverb is used in negative statements and questions to mean "not in the period of time between before now and now, up to and including the present." It is usually placed at the end of the sentence. 
For example, "Have you met Judy yet?" or "I haven't visited the Tate Gallery yet.

  • Before: This adverb is used to describe an action that happened at an unspecified time in the past before now. It is usually placed at the end of the sentence. 
For example, "I have seen that movie before.

Remember that the present perfect tense is used to describe actions or events that happened at an unspecified time before now, and these adverbs help to give more specific information about when the action or event occurred.


EXCERCISE.

  1. Haven't you …………… visited the Louvre Museum?
  2. I haven't been to the Paris Opera …………... .
  3. Who is she? I haven't seen her …………… .
  4. We've been here only one day, but we've ………….. taken a lot of pictures.
