English - The Present Perfect Tense

Question

For our learners of English here's an introductory lesson to the English Present Perfect Tense. How to form it and its uses. (smiley)

Have/Has + past participle

NB (as kindly pointed out by Warren)

I have is often contracted to I've

She has to she's

He has to he's

(the cartoon is web based and not my design)

Present perfect like spanish have and has.It would be better for learner if you left the words as I have instead of I've and He has instead of He;s - warrenmarshall, Jul 25, 2012

true good point Warren and I believe I have done so in the actual lesson, the cartoon is web based and not my design but I'll put a note above as it's an important one, gracias :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 25, 2012

Answer 1

I have been studying Spanish for two years .

I have waited long enough for that "eureka moment " ,has my moment come and gone ?

I think rather than one big one you will have had lots of little ones along the way and lots more to come - the next is probably just around the corner :) - Kiwi-Girl, Jul 25, 2012
