UNIT 6Present perfect (I have done)

a) Study this example situation:

Tom is looking for his key. He can't find it. He has lost his key. 'He has lost his key' means that he lost it a short time ago and he still hasn't got it. This is the present perfect (simple) tense: I/we/they/you have(= I've etc.) he/she has (= he's etc.) I (etc.) haven't have you (etc.) he/she hasn't has he/she

We form the present perfect with have/has + the past participle. The past participle often ends in -ed (opened, decided) but many important verbs are irregular (lost, written, doneetc.).

b) When we use the present perfect there is a connection with the present:

- I've lost my key. (= I haven't got it now.)

- Jim has gone to Canada. (= He is in Canada or on his way there now.)

- Oh dear, I've forgotten her name. (= I can't remember it now.)

- Have you washedyour hair? (= is it clean now?)

c) We often use the present perfect to give new information or to announce a recent happening:

- I've lost my key. Can you help me look for it?

- Do you know about Jim? He's gone to Canada.

- Ow! I've burnt myself.

You can use the present perfect with just (= a short time ago):

- 'Would you like something to eat?' 'No, thanks. I'vejust had lunch.'

- Hello, haveyou just arrived?

You can use the present perfect with already to say that something has happened sooner than expected:

- 'Don't forget to post the letter, will you?' 'I've already posted it.'

- 'When is Tom going to start his new job?' 'He has already started.'

d) Study the difference between gone to and been to:

- Ann is on holiday. She has goneto Italy. (= She is there now or she is on her way there.)

- Tom is back in England now. He has beento Italy. (= He was there but now he has come back.)
