go                           went                           gone

meet                       met                             met

see                         saw                            seen

Present            Past                   Past Perfect

arrive              arrived                      arrived

live                 lived                          lived

play               played                       played



The Present Perfect tense: we use have or has + Past Participle



Affirmative               Negative                       Interrogative

I have seen               I haven’t seen               Have I seen?

You have seen         You haven’t seen           Have you seen?

He has seen              He hasn’t seen              Has he seen?

She has seen             She hasn’t seen            Has she seen?

It has seen                 It hasn’t seen                Has it seen?

We have seen           We haven’t seen           Have we seen?

You have seen          You haven’t seen          Have you seen?

They have seen         They haven’t seen         Have they seen?



short form: I have = I’ve you have = you’ve he has = he’s



Ex.: He’s been here. She’s been here. I’ve been here.



We use the Present Perfect for an action at an indefinite time in the past, where the emphasis is not on the time but on the action.


exemple: I have been to Argentina. (We don’t mention the time or when)

exemple: she has cleaned her house.


Let’s compare Present Perfect to Simple Past



Simple Past                                                    Present Perfect

I saw Mary at the party yesterday.                  I have seen Mary.

I went to the club last week.                           I have been to the club.

She traveled to Paris last year.                        She has traveled to Paris.  

He worked hard yesterday.                            He has worked hard.


Pay attention to the difference.

Simple Past we always mention the time.

Yesterday, last week, two days ago, etc.


Present Perfect we just give emphasis on e action.


-Did you see Mary last night?                          -  Have you seen Mary?

-Yes, I did.                                                         -   Yes, I have.

-Did you go to Paris last year?                        -Have you been to Paris?

-No, I didn’t.                                                       -No, I haven’t.

-Did you go to the movies last night?                     - Have you been to the movies?

-Yes, I did.                                                           -Yes, I have.

-Did you eat fish last Sunday?                                 -Have you eaten fish?

-No, I didn’t.                                                           -Yes, I have.


We also use:


Have you ever been to the USA?

Have you been to the new shopping mall?

Have you ever been to Canada?

Has she ever been to a concert?

Have you ever been to Bahia?

Have you ever been to Rio? (ever is emphatic)

Pay attention to the difference:

- She has been to the USA. (She was there, but now she is back)

- She has gone to the USA. (She is there now or on her way there)

We Also Use The Present Perfect For A Period Of Time Not Finished, such as: Today, This Week, This Year, Etc.

Ex.: Have you read the newspaper today?

Have you traveled this year?

Have you watched T.V. today?

Those Questions We Use In The Present Perfect:


WHY? Because when we ask “Have you read the newspaper today” (today is not over, not finished)

You can read the newspaper later. (today will be over only at midnight)

So the Present Perfect is used for actions whereby the action can be continued or repeated.

For example: when you ask – Did you read the newspaper yesterday? (yesterday is over, finished)

In Present Perfect the action is not over or finished, you can still read the newspaper today.

- Have you read the newspaper today?

Example:



{_______________________________________________...................................................}

1987 2000 2020



I have worked here for 17 years



When we want to show the length of time of an action or state of being, that began in the past

and is still continuing.

{_________________________________________________________________________}

4:00 o’clock 6:00 o’clock

I arrived at 4:00 o’clock I am still here

I have been here for 2 hours.

I have been here since 4:00 o’clock.

So we always use FOR or SINCE (Present Perfect) when we are talking about time.

SINCE = yesterday, last year, 2:00 o’clock.

FOR = two years, two hours, months, years.


PS: We only use yesterday, last night in the Present Perfect with since:

example: I saw Mary yesterday.

I haven’t seen Mary since yesterday.

I met Peter last night.

I haven’t met Peter since last night.



(since last night shows a length of time) {____________________ SINCE _________________}

yesterday now

- how long have you been here?

- I have been here since four o’clock.

- I have been here for 2 hours.

- How long have you worked here?

- I have worked here for 2 years.

- I have worked here since 1999.

We also use the present perfect frequently with the words:

Ever - Have you ever been to Europe?

Just - for an action completed just now ( short time ago):

she has just arrived. She has just left.

Already - “do your homework!” “I have already done it.”

“clean your room!” “I have already cleaned it.”

Yet - Usually in the negative and interrogative

I haven’t done my homework yet. I will do it later.

Have you done your homework yet?



17-May and Might = (possibility)
We use may or might to say that something is possible.

We can use may or might in the Present and Future.

Affirmative

e.g.: He may be at home. (perhaps he is at home)

She might be late.

It might rain next year.

She might arrive next Saturday.

Negative

e.g.: He may not come tonight.

She might not be at home.

They may not finish the work in time.

It may not be sunny tomorrow.

We can use may for permission

May I come in?

May I sit?

May I go to the movies?

To say what was possible in the past.

May + have + past participle

Might + have + past participle

e.g.: He may have forgotten the meeting.

She might have left her purse at home.

They may have said the wrong words.

She might have had a headache.

 More examples

May I sit? = asking permission

I may go to the movies, I don’t know = possibility

May I smoke in here? = asking permission
I may study another language => possibility

18-Must

We use must = to say that something is necessary (we can use it for the present or future)

e.g.: I must study for the test.

He must pay more attention to the teacher.

Must I come here tomorrow. (future)

Past we use must + have + past participle

e.g.: He must have seen the accident.

She must have left earlier.

They must have made a mistake.

Negative = must not = mustn’t

MUSTN’T = it is not necessary or a prohibition


You mustn’t smoke in here.

Students mustn’t miss classes.

USE 1 Completed Action Before Something in the Past

The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also show that something happened before a specific time in the past.

Examples:

• Tony knew Los Angeles so well because he had visited the city several times.

• Had Sally ever studied Spanish before she moved to Spain?

• She only understood the movie because she had read the book.

• Kristine had never been to an opera before last night.

• We were not able to get a hotel room because we had not booked in advance.



USE 2 Duration Before Something in the Past (Non-Continuous Verbs)

We use the Past Perfect to show that something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past.

Examples:

• We had had that car for ten years before it broke down.

• By the time Alex finished his studies, he had been in London for over eight years.

• They felt bad about selling the house because they had owned it for more than forty years.

Although the above use of Past Perfect is normally limited to Non-Continuous Verbs and non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, the words "live," "work," "teach," and "study" are sometimes used in this way even though they are NOT Non-Continuous Verbs.



IMPORTANT Specific Times with the Past Perfect

It is possible to use specific time words or phrases with the Past Perfect. Although this is possible, it is usually not necessary.

Example:

• She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 2008 before she moved in with them in 2010.



ADVERB PLACEMENT

The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc.

PASSIVE
1-A letter can be written by me

2-A letter could be written by me

3-A letter must be written by me

4-A letter should be written by me


We use the passive for letters, reports, when we want to write better, we change the sentences into passive.

For example: I have received your fax. (company situation)

I = is not important to mention because you represent a group of people, a company, so you

should write like this:

Your fax has been received.

The report was sent yesterday.

The order was made last week.

She was promoted chief executive officer.

The fire was put out very fast.

The work is done by machines.

The work is done by women.

The movie was directed by John Collins.

People are expected to be polite.

They were invited to go to the dinner party.

I was born in 1987.

(It is not necessary to use by me by him by them)

You see who did the action is not important when we use the passive

The fire was put out. (it is not important to know who put out the fire, but the action done).

You always read passive in newspaper articles, magazines, reports.


23-Future Conditionals ( Future Unreal ) Type 1

FORM

[If / When ... Simple Present ..., ... Simple Future ...]

[... Simple Future ... if / when ... Simple Present ...]

Notice that there is no future in the if- or when-clause.

USE

A-The Future Conditional describes what you think you will do in a specific situation in the future. We are usually imagining or guessing about the future.

Examples:

• If I go to my friend's house for dinner tonight, I will take a bottle of wine or some flowers.

I am still not sure if I will go to his house or not.

• When I have a day off from work, I will to the beach.

I have to wait until I have a day off.

• If the weather is nice, she will walk to work.

It depends on the weather.

• Jerry will help me with my homework when he has time.

I have to wait until he has time.

IMPORTANT If / When

Both "if" and "when" are used in the Future Conditional, "if" suggests that you do not know if something will happen or not. "When" suggests that something will definitely happen at some point; we are simply waiting for it to occur.

• When you call me, I will give you the address.

You are going to call me later, and at that time, I will give you the address.

• If you call me, I will give you the address.

If you want the address, you can call me.

B-Present Unreal Conditional ( Type 2)

FORM

[If ... Simple Past ..., ... would + verb ...]

[... would + verb ... if ... Simple Past ...]

USE

The Present Unreal Conditional is used to talk about what you would generally do in imaginary situations.

Examples:

• If I owned a car, I would drive to work. But I don't own a car.

• She would travel around the world if she had more money. But she doesn't have much money.

• I would read more if I didn't watch so much TV.

• Mary would move to Japan if she spoke Japanese.

• If they worked harder, they would earn more money.

• A: What would you do if you won the lottery?

B: I would buy a house.

• A: Where would you live if you moved to the U.S.?

B: I would live in Seattle.

EXCEPTION If I were ...

In the Present Unreal Conditional, the form "was" is not considered grammatically correct. In written English or in testing situations, you should always use "were." However, in everyday conversation, "was" is often used.

Examples:

• If he were French, he would live in Paris.

• If she were rich, she would buy a yacht.

• I would play basketball if I were taller.

• I would buy that computer if it were cheaper.

EXCEPTION Conditional with Modal Verbs

There are some special conditional forms for modal verbs in English:

would + can = could

would + shall = should

would + may = might

The words "can," "shall" and "may" cannot be used with "would." Instead, they must be used in these special forms.

Examples:

• If I went to Egypt, I could learn Arabic.

• If she had time, she might go to the party.

• The words "could," should," "might" and "ought to" include conditional, so you cannot combine them with "would."

Examples:

• If I had more time, I could exercise after work.

CONDITIONAL TYPE 2

If I had money, I would buy a house. ( Past – would )

I would buy a, house if
I had money. ( would – past )

If I spoke English, I would find a good job.

I would find a good job, if I spoke English.

Past Unreal Conditional Type 3

FORM

[If ... Past Perfect ..., ... would have + past participle ... ]

[... would have + past participle ... if ... Past Perfect ...]

USE

C-The Past Unreal Conditional is used to talk about imaginary situations in the past. You can describe what you would have done differently or how something could have happened differently if circumstances had been different.

Examples:

• If I had owned a car, I would have driven to work. But I didn't own one, so I took the bus.

• She would have traveled around the world if she had had more money. But she didn't have much money, so she never traveled.

• I would have read more as a child if I hadn't watched so much TV. Unfortunately, I did watch a lot of TV, so I never read for entertainment.

• Mary would have gotten the job and moved to Japan if she had studied Japanese in school instead of French.

• If Jack had worked harder, he would have earned more money. Unfortunately, he was lazy and he didn't earn much.

• What would you have done if you had won the lottery last week?

I would have bought a house.

• What city would you have chosen if you had decided to move to the United States?

I would have chosen Seattle.
