Rationale for the selection
The Present Perfect Tense in an important grammar element in English but mainly due to lack of understanding of this tense the second language learner makes grammatically unacceptable mistakes.
![Page 8: CEL 122 Present Perfect Tense](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541ea01c7bef0afc188b470f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Rationale for the Selection.
1. Present Perfect Tense (PPT), is an important tense in English, but it puts the second language learner into a complexity.
2. It is because the PPT employs concepts or ideas that are not existing in the First Language (L1).
![Page 9: CEL 122 Present Perfect Tense](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541ea01c7bef0afc188b470f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Rationale for the Selection…
3. The structure of this tense is very simple but problem arises in using this tense.
4. Second Language ( L2), learner always tries to acquire the language through translation method. Hence, they always try to form PPT with the influence of the L1.
![Page 10: CEL 122 Present Perfect Tense](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541ea01c7bef0afc188b470f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Rationale for the selection
1. The first reason for this is that the second language learner compare the sentence structures with the mother tongue equivalents. As a result of this comparative approach they make mistakes.
Eg. He written a letter.
For
He has written a letter.
![Page 11: CEL 122 Present Perfect Tense](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541ea01c7bef0afc188b470f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Rationale for the selection3. Difficulties in using the past participle form of the verb in
Present Perfect Tense. This is mainly due to the lack of understanding about the
structure of this tense and overgeneralization.
• Eg- They have clean the garden. For They have cleaned the garden.
He has breaked the chair. For He has broken the chair.
![Page 12: CEL 122 Present Perfect Tense](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541ea01c7bef0afc188b470f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Rationale for the selection
4. In making questions in Present Perfect Tense, the second language learner get it confused with the past tense question forms.
Eg. Did you washed your clothes?
For
Have you washed your clothes?
![Page 13: CEL 122 Present Perfect Tense](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541ea01c7bef0afc188b470f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Rationale for the selection2. Some students confuse the present perfect
tense with the sentences that express the possession.
• They have a preconception that the verbs has and have is used to express the idea of possession.
• Therefore, they try to understand the Present Perfect Tense as a way of expressing possession.
![Page 14: CEL 122 Present Perfect Tense](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541ea01c7bef0afc188b470f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Rationale for the selection
The concept of Present Perfect Tense does not exist in Sinhala or Tamil Languages, and it is not easy for a non-native learner to master this tense, mainly because the difference between Present Perfect and Past Simple is confusing for the second language learner.
![Page 15: CEL 122 Present Perfect Tense](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541ea01c7bef0afc188b470f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
