VOCABULARY: INJURIES

PRESENT PERFECT

I’ve travelled all around the world

• We don’t say exactly when the action happened

She has bought a new house

Since the day I was born till now

We don’t know when she did it but she has a new house

• Let’s compare the previous examples with these ones

I’ve travelled all around the world I travelled to Rome last summer

She has bought a new house She bought a new house in June

What’s the difference?

In both examples you know the time when the action happened, and it was in the past simple

MORE EXAMPLES• I haven't been to Sweden yet.

• My sister has just painted her room pink.

• I've seen wolves in that forest.

• She has lived in London for three years

She is still living there

If you go to that forest now you will see the wolves. They're still there

She started in the past and she has just finished now, in the present

I will go, but since I was born till now I haven’t been there

Tom is looking for his key. He can't find it. "He has lost his key“

He lost it and he still hasn't got it.

• As you can see we use “have” or “has” before the past participle

• So you can talk about an EXPERIENCE you have lived…..– We have been to Paris

• But you can’t not say– We been to Paris – We been to Paris

• We form the negative with “haven’t” or “hasn’t”– I haven’t bought the present for the party

• Ad we use “Never” in the negative form– I have never eaten sushi

No I have never seen that movie / I haven’t seen that movie

Yes I have seen it a lot of times

Yes I saw it yesterday

HOW DO WE MAKE IT?

has

When we want to ask a question about something that happened at any time before now, we say:

Have you ever….?Have you ever worked at a job you really loved?

Has she ever worked at a job she really hated?

Have they ever used a cash register?

Have you ever supervised other employees?

The short answer is…Yes, I have.

No, I haven’t

Yes, she has.

No, she hasn’t.

EVER (alguna vez) NEVER (nunca)USED WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT

Ever means 'at any time', the specific time is unknown or unnecessary, and is used in questions.Example –

Have you ever met a famous person ?(Did you meet a famous person at any time in the past.)

Never is originally a contraction of 'not ever'.

Never means the subject hasn't had a certain experience before.Ex ample Have you ever been abroad? No, I've never been abroad.(I've never had that experience before.)

Ever or never?

Ever – never

ALREADY (ya) JUST(acabo de ...)USED WITH THE PRESENT PERFECT

Already means that something happened earlier than we expected.

Already usually goes after have or has and before the main verb. subject+have/has+already+past part.

Examples

- We've already had our breakfast.

- When are you going to do your homework?- But I've already done it!

- Do you want a cup of coffee?- No, thanks. I've already had one.“

Just means that something has happened in a very close time, right now or minutes ago, or maybe that day .Just usually goes after have or has and before the main verb. subject+have/has+just+past part.

Examples

- We have just finished our breakfast, so we aren’t hungry (We have finished right know)

- Have you done your homework?- Yes, I have just finished them I’m picking up the books.

Just or Already ?

We often use the Present Perfect with already to talk about things that have happened before now.

I’ve already eaten breakfast. She’s already read that book.

You’re too late. He’s already left for school.

We usually use yet in questions to find out if something has happened before now.

Have you bought your mother a present yet?

Has she seen that movie yet?

Have they left for school yet?

With the words “for” and “since” to talk about something that began in the past and continues to now.

For example: I’ve studied at this school since last June.

She’s lived in West Palm Beach for 2 months.

1. SINCE + POINT IN TIME

Use the present perfect with “since” + point in time (since 5:00, since Monday, since 1994) to show when something

started.

2. SINCE can also introduce a time clause.

I’ve worked at this job since last year.

He’s lived in Florida since March.

They’ve been married since 1985.

I’ve lived in Lake Worth since I moved to Florida.

Reason #2

FOR + LENGTH OF TIME

Use the Present perfect with “for” + length of time (for ten minutes, for two weeks, for years, for a long time) to show

how long a present condition has lasted.

I’ve worked at this job for one year.

He’s lived in Florida for 9 months.

They’ve been married for a long time.

So……

How do we ask questions using this tense? When we want to know the length of time

something has taken place we use the question words “HOW LONG?”

How long has she studied English at the school?

If we want to ask a question about something that happened at a specific time in the past, we wouldn’t use the present perfect tense. We need to use a different tense. Can you

guess which one?

You’re right! The simple past tense.

When did they use a cash register?

They used a cash register last year.

When did you supervise other people?

I supervised other people two years ago.

Last year, yesterday, two years ago, last week are all words we use with the simple

past tense

Often when we’re speaking, we go back and forth between these two tenses—the present perfect and the simple

past tense.

Take a look at this example.

Miko: Have you ever supervised other people?

Tanaya: Yes, I have.

Miko: When did you do that?

Tanaya: I supervised others last year in my previous job.
