3. The Present Perfect Simple Tense
How to form the present perfect
To make the positive present perfect tense, use: 'have' / 'has' + the past participle
Make the past participle by adding 'ed' to regular verbs (for example, 'play' becomes 'played')
There are a few verbs that change their spelling when you add 'ed' (for example, 'study' becomes 'studied')
We also have some completely irregular verbs
Positive
Positive Short Form
I have played
I've played
you have worked
you've worked
he has written
he's written
she has walked
she's walked
it has rained
it's rained
we have travelled
we've travelled
they have studied
they've studied
The negative is really simple too. Just put 'not' after 'have' or 'has':
Negative
Negative Short Form
I have not eaten breakfast today
I haven't eaten
you have not been to Asia

he has not seen the new film

she has not played tennis
she hasn't played
it has not snowed this winter
it hasn't snowed
we have not slept all night
we haven't slept
they have not tried the food

To make a question, put 'have' or 'has' in front of the subject:
'Yes / No' Questions
have I missed the bus?
have you visited London?
has he worked as a waiter before?
has she met John?
has it been cold this week?
have we arrived too early?have they studied English grammar before?
As you can imagine, for 'wh' questions, we just put the question word before 'have' or 'has':
'Wh' Questions
where have I left my umbrella?
what have you done today?
why has he gone already?
where has she been in the UK?
why has it rained so much this summer?
what have we done?
where have they learned English before?
