POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SENTENCES
in PRESENT PERFECT
WELCOME BACK! Still at home, but back to work! Let´s continue our practice with 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
(Also, here's some help if you are not sure how to pronounce '-ed' at the end of a verb).
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 |
