WEEK 5 - PERIOD 10
LANGUAGE FOCUS
A- THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE:
- Active form: S + have/ has + V3
- Passive form: S + have/ has + been + V3
GENERAL IDEA: ACTIONS BEFORE PRESENT TIME
USE 1 - UNSPECIFIED TIME BEFORE NOW
• I think I ________________ (see) that movie twenty times.
• I think I ________________ (meet) him once before.
• ________________ you ________________ the book yet? (read)
The concept of "unspecified time" can be very confusing to English learners. It is best to
associate Present Perfect with the following topics:
TOPIC 1: Experience

• I ________________ to France many times. (be)
This sentence means that you have had the experience of being in France.
• Joan _________________ two foreign languages. (study)
Economy (N) [C] The government's __________________ policies…
Innova is an ______________________ car.
_______________, the country has been improving well.
We should spend money __________________.
Their ideas sound fine in principle but they haven't worked out
the __________________ behind the policies.

fond (Adj) She was very fond _________ horses.
Many of us have fond memories _________ our childhoods.

• Susan ____________________ Japanese, but she can communicate. (not master)
TOPIC 5: Multiple Actions at Different Times
• She ___________ (talk) to several specialists about her problem, but nobody knows why
she is sick.
TIME EXPRESSIONS WITH PRESENT PERFECT
When we use the Present Perfect it means that something has happened at some point in our
lives before now. Remember, the exact time the action happened is not important.
Sometimes, we want to limit the time we are looking in for an experience. We can do this

with expressions such as: in the last week, in the last year, this week, this month, so far, up to now,
etc.
NOTICE
"Last year" and "in the last year" are very different in meaning. "Last year" means the year
before now, and it is considered a specific time which requires Simple Past. "In the last year"
means from 365 days ago until now. It is not considered a specific time, so it requires Present
Perfect.
• I went to Mexico last year.
(I went to Mexico in the calendar year before this one)
• I have been to Mexico in the last year.
(I have been to Mexico at least once at some point between 365 days ago and now)
USE 2 - DURATION FROM THE PAST UNTIL NOW
(NON-CONTINUOUS VERBS)
