In general, we use the Present Perfect Tense to refer to actions that started in the past and continue in the present.
Example: verb 'to eat':
I have eaten the pizza.
How do we form the Present Perfect Tense?
We need the verb 'to have' in present simple: have/has in affirmative, have not (haven't)/ has not (hasn't) in negative) and a past participle:
have/has + past participle
In regular verbs, the past participle is the same as the past simple form and we can create it by adding '-ed' to the infinitive without to form (example: jump -> jumped, study -> studied...)
In irregular verbs, the past participle is the word from the third column. We need to know it by heart... It's necessary to study the list of the irregular verbs in order to know and use the present perfect tense. Review them now, please!
Here you have some examples:
(+) I have coloured the picture. (= Coloreei o debuxo).
(-) They have not bought food. (= Elas/eles non compraron comida).
(?) Have you said something? (=Dixeches algo?)
NEVER/EVER:
We can use 'never' (nunca) e 'ever' (algunha vez) with Present Perfect Tense:
NEVER:
If you pay attention, the verb does not go with a 'not' to create this negative meaning. It simply goes with the 'never':
(+) I have never been to Scotland. (= (Eu) nunca estiven en Escocia). (
(+) She has never eaten chocolate. (= Ela nunca comeu chocolate).
(The verb is in affirmative, but the meaning is negative). -)
EVER:
(?) Have you ever gone to London? (=Algunha vez fuches a Londres?)
(?) Has the dog ever slept on your bed? (=O can algunha vez durmiu na túa cama?)
