Present Perfect

Monday: 
Introduction to the present perfect tense.
The present perfect tense is formed from the present tense of the verb *“have”* and
the past participle of a verb. We use the present perfect tense for something that
started in the past and continues in the present, for example: "They've been married
for nearly fifty years" or "She has lived in Liverpool all her life".
We also use the present perfect tense when talking about our experience up to the
present, for example: "I've seen that film before" or "I've played the guitar ever since I
was a teenager". We often use the adverb `ever` to talk about experience up to the
present, for example: "My last birthday was the worst day I have ever had" and we
use `never` for the negative form, for example: "Have you ever met George? Yes, but
I've never met his wife".
Learn the structure and usage of the present perfect tense.

and never to indicate when the action occurred.
Learn how to use time expressions such as “already”, “yet”, “just”, “ever” and
“never” with the present perfect tense.
Sure! Time expressions such as already, yet, just, ever, and never are often used
with the present perfect tense to indicate when an action occurred in relation to the
present.

 Already is used to show that something has happened sooner than expected.
For example: “I have already finished my homework.”
  Yet is used in negative sentences and questions to show that something has
not happened but is expected to happen. For example: “I haven’t finished my
homework yet” or “Have you finished your homework yet?”
 Just is used to show that something has happened very recently. For
example: “I have just finished my homework.”
 Ever is used in questions to ask if something has happened at any time. For
example: “Have you ever been to Paris?”
 Never is used to show that something has not happened at any time. For
example: “I have never been to Paris.”

Remember to place these time expressions correctly in the sentence. Already, just,

and yet usually come between the auxiliary verb (have or has) and the past
participle, while ever and never come before the past participle.
