PRESENT PERFECT (ever and never)

Flipped Classroom

Present Perfect with ever and never

We use Present perfect to talk about events in the past when we don't know the exact time.

For example: I have lost my keys or I haven't seen John at school

Positive form:Subject+have/has+past participle For example: I have met my best friend at the park

Negative form:Subject+haven't/hasn't+past participle For example: I haven't met my best friend at the park

Questions and short answers: Have/has+subject+past participle For example: Have you met your best friend at the park? Yes, I have/No, I haven't.

Please remember:

Not all verbs are regular(for example; visited, played, touched) You can check the list of irregular verbs at page 140 of the Student's book.

We use Present perfect with ever or never to talk about experiences in our lives from the past to now.

past present

our lives

Present perfect + ever: "Ever" (which means "at any time") goes before the past participle in questions.

For example: Have you ever seen Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets?

Present perfect + never: "Never" (which means "at no time") goes before the past participle to create negative sentences.

For example: I have never seen Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

EASY,

right?
