Present Perfect notes

What these Present Perfect notes cover

The notes bring together examples of time expressions, including for, since, just, already and yet. One note focuses on life experiences, with positive and negative statements and direct questions. Another, called An exciting trip, presents the tense in a short story.

How to use the notes

Start with the note on life experiences if you want to see different sentence forms together. Read a few examples, then write your own statements and questions using the same patterns. The notes on time expressions are useful when you want to focus on the words that accompany the tense.

After reading, switch to a quiz on the Present Perfect unit page to check your understanding. If you want a visual overview instead, look at a mind map there. Return to the notes when you want to reread an example. Choose a note that matches the point you are practising.
