Present Perfect

These are some exercises to practise this tense:

Present Perfect 1

Present Perfect 2

Present Perfect (for or since)

Present Perfect (already, just, yet) 1

Present Perfect (already, just, yet) 2

Present Perfect vs. Past Simple 1

Present Perfect vs. Past Simple 2

Present Perfect vs. Past Simple 3 (Difficult)

Hey!! If you have finished, just have a look at these videos.








Did you like them? Do you get the difference between Present Perfect and Past Simple? As you can see, when they ask "What have you done today?" they use the Present Perfect because the day isn't over yet. However, they answer using the Past Simple because the action they did is finished.

Just to put an end to this topic, watch and listen to this song. It is called I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking for. As you can appreciate, it is about the Present Perfect tense!! Enjoy the song and... if you are worried about not knowing what they say, read the subtitles in Spanish. On the other hand, if you want to have a look at the English lyrics, click the link.
