(Present Perfect (Presente Perfecto)

Se usa el presente perfecto para acciones que ocurrieron en un tiempo no concreto antes de ahora. El tiempo especifico no es importante. Por lo tanto, no solemos usar expresiones del tiempo especificos (this morning, yesterday, last year...) con el presente perfecto. Se puede usar el presente perfecto con expresiones del tiempo no concretos (never, ever, many times, for, since, already, yet...). Este concepto del tiempo no especifico es bastante difcil de comprender, por este motivo, a continuacin tienes los usos particulares del presente perfecto.

1.

Se usa el presente perfecto para describir una experiencia. No lo usamos para acciones especificas.

Ejemplos:

1 2

I have never traveled by plane. (Nunca he viajado en un avin.) He has worked in many different offices. (l ha trabajado en muchos lugares diferentes.)

We have been to Rio de Janiero. (Hemos ido a Rio de Janiero.)

2.

Se utiliza el presente perfecto para los cambios producidos a travs del tiempo.

Ejemplos:

1 2

I have become more timid in my old age. (Me he vuelto ms tmido en mi vejez.) Their English has improved a lot this year. (Su ingls ha mejorado mucho este ao.)

He has learned to be more patient. (Ha aprendido a ser ms paciente.)

3.

Se usa hablar de metas alcanzadas.

Ejemplos:

Our football team has won the championship three times. (Nuestro equipo de ftbol ha ganado el campeonato tres veces.)

Dan has finished writing his first novel. (Dan ha terminado de escribir su primera novela.)

Scientists have succeeded in curing many illnesses. (Los cientficos han tenido xito en la curacin de muchas enfermedades.)

4.

Usamos el presente perfecto para acciones que todava no han pasado. El uso del presente perfecto en estos casos indica que an estamos esperando la accin, por eso, frecuentemente usamos los palabras "yet" y "still".

Ejemplos:

1 2

The plane hasn't arrived yet. (El avin no ha llegado todava.) Our team still hasn't won a championship. (Nuestro equipo an no ha ganado un campeonato.)

You haven't finished your homework yet? (No has terminado tu tarea an?)

5.

Se utiliza el presente perfecto para hablar sobre acciones en diferentes momentos en el pasado. El uso del presente perfecto en estos casos indica que ms acciones son posibles en el futuro.

Ejemplos:

We have talked several times, but we still can't reach an agreement. (Hemos hablado varias veces, pero todava no podemos llegar a un acuerdo.)

Our team has played 4 games so far this year. (Nuestro equipo ya ha jugado 4 partidos este ao.)

I love New York! I have been there 5 times already and I can't wait to go back. (Me encanta Nueva York! Ya he estado all 5 veces y no puedo esperar para regresar.)

6.

El "present perfect" es un tiempo que sirve para describir acciones que acaban de suceder en el pasado y que guardan alguna relacin con el presente. 1 2 I have just finished my homework. (Recin he terminado mi tarea) She has recently returned from abroad. (Ella ha vuelto recientemente del extranjero) 3 I have bought a car. (Yo he comprado un coche: nos indica que la accin de comprar el coche acaba de realizarse).

7.

Otro uso tpico del "present perfect" es para describir acciones que empezaron en el pasado y que an no han finalizado:

I have lived in this city since 1980. (He vivido en esta ciudad desde 1980: implica que sigo viviendo en la ciudad.)

III.(Comprensin) Read the text and answer the questions. Lee el texto y responde las preguntas. Teenagers have their own TV channels, websites and magazines. So What about books? Last year one publisher, Martins, started publishing a series called Waves. We spoke to the director Julia Smith. She explained, Teenage fiction as been published since 1970s but publishers have never been particularly successful in getting teenagers to buy and read books. Now theyre realising that teenagers arent just older children but theyre not adults either and often arent interested in adult fiction. For this series were looking for new writers who write especially for teenagers. Athene Gorrs novel was published in the series last year and is selling well. Its title is The Purple Ring. She says, The important thing is to persuade teenagers to pick up your book. Im a new writer so, although Ive got an unusual name which people might remember, nobody knows it yet! But my book has a fantastic cover which makes people want to look inside. Then they realise what a brilliant story it is! And what do teenagers themselves think about the series? We talked to Sophie Clarke, aged 15. She said, Ive read a few books in the Waves series. They say theyre for 14-19 years old and I agree with that. Were not interested in the same things as people in their twenties and thirties. I like them and I think they look really good too. The only thing is that because bookshops put them in the childrens section, lots of teenagers wont find them so they may not do very well. And its a shame theres no non-fiction in the series as I think lots of teenagers, specially boys, might buy that.
