How is used and how and when to use it seems.
Hello! I’m from Emma mmmEnglish. If you do not feel confident using the full present tense
In English after, there is probably some of the reasons. There are those
Disturbing acts abnormal in the form of the third discharge. Or maybe you’re not sure when you feel
The use of the present perfect, and when using the simple past seasons.
Even if you are very good in the use of the present perfect in English time, it’s definitely worth
Review of this time for “jog your memory” This expression means to remind yourself.
Are you ready to start? Bring notebook and pen and let’s go to
This beautiful time off so that you can feel more confident when using it.

You will Ahkuronk on it! The first thing, grammatical structure. What does it look like?
Well, he looks like this: the actor “have” or “has” the main verb in the body
Drain the third act. So, the actor, you know already. You can use the name of science
Or conscience. I, she, they. In total times, he did “have” is
Assistant did, he did assistant. It’s not the main verb in the sentence
This means that it is usually tight in pronunciation, often abbreviated when talking.
Therefore, “she has” become “she’s” and “I have” become “I’ve” – ​​but I’ll talk more about it soon!
But then comes the main verb. Full time in the present tense,
The main verb is in the form of the third discharge, not in the form of the simple past. Now, this is not a problem
For ordinary past acts. Ordinary acts, the third discharge form is
Past the same simple. So you just need to add ed. In the present tense time “watch”
It becomes “watched” in the past and it’s also a simple “watched” in the form of the third discharge.
“Laugh” becomes “laughed”, and also “laughed”. “Dance” “danced” “danced”
“Call” “called” “called”
Even some irregular verbs Tsthaddam the same simple past tense Ktbarv third act
“Have” in the present tense and become Azemn “had” in the past simple
And it’s also “had” third Ktbarv to do. Easy is not it? “Win won won”
But those irregular verbs that cause all this headache because there
Three different forms that you need to remember. “Go” become in the present tense
“Went” in the past simple and past discharge the third, it “been” or “gone”.
Some more examples. “Fly flew flown” “throw” “threw” “thrown”
“Do” “did” “done” “become” “became” “become”
“Speak” “spoke” “spoken” I’m sure you can think of many examples, but with
These acts, there is no pattern, there is no rule to follow. All you need
Is keeping the form of discharge but keep an eye out in the next video
Next week, which will help you to practice, and save forms of the third discharge
irregular acts. In fact, if you subscribe to this channel – click on the red button here
You’ll find once equipped. But the use of present tense
Full well, you may need to practice some irregular verbs (abnormal) Useful
In English and remind yourself about the shape in the discharge of the third act.
But let’s go back to the temple! You have the actor, and you “have” or “has” and we have
The verb in the form of the third discharge. “I asked my father to Akarzona some money.”
“I have been really helpful today.” “I flew to the capital to meet with officials.”
“I collect enough money to buy a car.” “I forgot where her hotel is located.”
Now, in this structure often “have” “has” abbreviated
“I’ve asked” “You’ve been” “They’ve flown” He’s saved “” She’s forgotten “
Affhmtha? good. So when you must use the full time of the present tense? Well, when there
Connection between the present and the past. Imagine that such a bridge
Links between the present and past. For example, when something began what
In the past and continued to the present. “I got married three years ago.”
You can use it to talk about the activity that you have done several times in
The past and continues to do now. “I have read many books.” And it probably will
Read more. You can also use the present perfect to talk about life experiences.
“He did not travel out of the country before.” Now before I give you some examples
Let’s talk about when to use the simple past tense and the time of the present perfect
Because of this often this is confusing part about this time.
To answer this question, you need to think about the time, the time is over and the time has not ended.
So the thought of last week – and this is the best example of the time is over (past). last week
Finished, it’s over. But what about this week? Are you finished this week?
no not yet. This is an example of the time is not over. There is still more this week,
Is not yet over. Yesterday, last week, last month, last year, 1991. This is
Are all examples of time ending. The time that has passed. When we talk about
The period of time that ended – like this – you need to use the simple past. but when
You’re talking about time is not over, like today,
This week, this year, this month, use the full time of the present tense. So let’s compare
some examples. “Last month, I visited my brother three times.” “This month
I visited my brother twice. But the month is not over yet, and I may do I visit him again.
Another example of me. “I borrowed my car yesterday.” So this sentence in
Simple past. Time ago and it ended. Now, try to change the time to present perfect yourself.
What do you need to do?
Two things. You need to add auxiliary verb. “He has”
“He has”, and not “have.” Because the actor. “He
I borrowed my car today, “or this week. We need to change the expression also
Sentence to work in full present tense.
Time must be incomplete. Well, those were all examples of the present perfect
In sentences installed. But what about the negative forms (exile)? Of course, we need to add
“Not” sentence, and structure. Actor in addition to “have” or “has” in addition to not
Then we drain the third act. If you compare these sentences. “Last month, I visited
My brother three times. “” This month, I have not I visit him at all. “
But the month is not over yet. I might visit him. Again, note that this structure
Usually abbreviated in spoken English. “Have not” This is the most common way
To form a shortcut in exile but could hear people also say, “I have not done to visit him.”
In both cases, acceptable, but you can not summarize all three words together.
I’ve not. You can not do it! It is one of the shortcuts, or the other. Another example ,
“I ate too much yesterday! Notice the time that we use. So at the present time
Full exile, we can say, “I did not eat a lot today,” but there is still
More of the day so that he could eat more. Another example after. “They were at school yesterday.”
In the present perfect, “not available in the school every morning.”
But today is not over yet, and they may arrive in the afternoon. Definitely,
You have to ask questions, present perfect, too, is not it? As with all forms of questions in English
Almsaadhajb act Agier location. So we “have” and
“Has”, the actor and the third act in the discharge. “Do you clean the bathroom?”
“Have you eaten enough?” “Do you Matart today?” “Are you finished yet?”
Now compare these two questions. “Did I go to Thailand last year?”
This is a simple question past so auxiliary verb “do” take time
It becomes “did” but compare now to “Have you visited Thailand?”
This means at any time in the past, it’s your experience in life, but of course,
It is still alive, so you can go in the future. The difference is the time
There’s a lot to think about when using the present perfect, is not it?
But I hope this lesson gave everything a little easier, especially
The basics. If you’re good at the basics, it’s a good thing. Make sure that you
