The Present Perfect Tense

Настоящее совершенное время

Настоящее совершенное время тесно связано и с прошедшим, и с настоящим. Оно выражает результат прошедшего действия на настоящий момент времени.

Например,

Я уже закончил институт.

Кто съел мое пирожное?

В отличие от прошедшего времени, оно никогда не употребляется с обстоятельствами времени, указывающими на совершение действия в прошлом (такими как yesterday, two days ago, last year, in 1998). Ведь их использование в предложении свидетельствует о том, что действие никак не связано с настоящим временем.

Например,

Я потерял кошелек два месяца назад. I lost my wallet two months ago.

Кто вчера съел мой торт? Who ate my cake yesterday?

Настоящее совершенное время употребляется со следующими наречиями времени:

Never – никогда

Ever – когда-либо (в вопросительных и отрицательных предложениях)

Already – уже (в утвердительных предложениях)

Yet – еще/уже (в отрицательных и вопросительных предложениях)

Just – только что

Recently – недавно

Lately – за последнее время

This year/month/morning (если год, месяц или утро еще не закончились)

Настоящее совершенное время образуется следующим образом:

Have/has+3-я форма глагола

3-я форма правильных глаголов совпадает со второй (to play-played-played). 3-ю форму неправильных глаголов необходимо запомнить

I have never seen tigers.I’ve never seen tigers.

He has just visited India. He’s just visited India.

Have you ever been to the Zoo?

I haven’t ever cooked pizza./I have never cooked pizza.

I haven’t measured this table yet.

He has recently won the prize. He’s recently won the prize.

I haven’t read anything lately.

This evening I have cooked a delicious dinner. This evening I’ve cooked a delicious dinner.
