    USES PRESENT PERFECT

    1. Life experiences that happened before now. We dont know or


    dont say when they happened.
    Ive met George Clooney
    Past Simple: we know exactly when something happened
    I met George Clooney last weekend

    2. EVER + PRESENT PERFECT = any time in your life until now


    Have you ever kissed a famous person?
    Past Simple: we ask for more info about these experiences
    - Have you ever kissed a famous person?
    - Yes, I have. When I was in LA on vacation.
    - Really? Who did you kiss?
    3. We give news about things that happened in the past, but are
    connected to now. We dont say the exact time they
    happened.

    YET: it hasnt happened, but we think it will happen in the future


    - Have you finished yet?
    - No, not yet
    JUST: Something happened a short time ago, but we dont know
    exactly when
    - Can you get a plate for that sandwich?
    - Ive just cleaned the floor!!
    - Oops
    ALREADY: Something happened some time in the past (maybe
    sooner than expected)
    - Do your homework!! Haga su tarea!
    - Ive already done it. - Ya lo he hecho.
    - When? - Cundo?
    - I did it on the bus this morning - Lo hice en el autobs esta
    maana

    4. FOR, SINCE, HOW LONG?: Things that started in the past


    and continue in the present.
    - How long have you lived in Alicante? YOU STILL LIVE HERE
    - Ive lived here for 20 years (A period of time)
    OR
    - Ive lived here since 1990 (a point in time)
    Past Simple:
    - How long did you live in Alicante? YOU
    LIVED THERE IN THE PAST, BUT NOT NOW.
    - I lived there for 4 months.
    AS YOU CAN SEE, SINCE CAN ONLY BE USED WITH PRESENT
    PERFECT, NOT WITH PAST SIMPLE.
