English Grammar Lesson: Present Perfect Simple - By Smrt English
00:03 | So in previous videos we have looked at some other | |
00:06 | uses of the present perfect , simple . And in | |
00:08 | this video we're going to look at the third use | |
00:11 | which is explaining the present . So to explain the | |
00:16 | present , you could use the present tense like present | |
00:18 | , simple or present . Continuous . Some examples would | |
00:21 | be It is snowing . I am hungry . I | |
00:24 | have a cup of coffee . She isn't here . | |
00:26 | The door is closed , but we can also use | |
00:29 | present . Perfect . Simple to explain the same thing | |
00:32 | now . To make your sentence , you must look | |
00:35 | at the action that changed before . Okay , so | |
00:38 | we're going to focus on the change . So if | |
00:40 | we look at it is snowing , I can also | |
00:43 | say it has started snowing . I have a cup | |
00:48 | of coffee . I could say I have got or | |
00:50 | I have bought a cup of coffee . Uh huh | |
00:54 | . She isn't here . I can also say she | |
00:57 | has left . Okay , so she has left is | |
00:59 | she is no longer in the room . The door | |
01:02 | is closed . What happened ? Someone has closed the | |
01:06 | door . Okay . Now in the present , perfect | |
01:11 | . Simple . We use the verb go a lot | |
01:14 | on you would use gone in this When you use | |
01:18 | this gun expresses the idea that someone or something waas | |
01:22 | here but is now not here yet they haven't returned | |
01:27 | . Now when we use the present perfect simple often | |
01:32 | sometimes you can get a little bit confused between present | |
01:35 | perfect simple on past Simple . But if you use | |
01:38 | the past simple , there is no connection to the | |
01:40 | present . Okay , so the action is completely finished | |
01:44 | . So the teacher closed the door or she left | |
01:47 | the room . Finished actions in the past . Now | |
01:51 | , when it comes to time expressions in present perfect | |
01:54 | , simple . You cannot use a specific time . | |
01:57 | If you want to use a specific time , you | |
01:59 | must use the past simple . So I could say | |
02:02 | Bill has not arrived . Or I could say the | |
02:06 | rain hasn't stopped on . I can't say yet yet | |
02:09 | a common word that we use Okay , but it's | |
02:11 | not specific . Another use . We can talk about | |
02:16 | actions that have happened sooner than we expected . So | |
02:20 | the students have already finished their homework . This means | |
02:23 | I'm surprised that they have already finished another example . | |
02:27 | It is only 11 a.m. But I have already eaten | |
02:31 | lunch . So this happened sooner than I thought it | |
02:34 | would . I hope you enjoyed the video and I'll | |
02:37 | see you next time |
