The present perfect can confuse many people, but this lesson will help you understand when we use this tense. I will teach you how to form the present perfect (have/has + past participle) in the affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms.
I will also explain how we use the present perfect with "ever" and "never" and the difference between this tense and the past simple.
We use the Present Perfect when the exact time of an action is not essential or not mentioned.

Amazing! Great job.Carry on.❤
Now that I'm older, I understand this study far better. Back in my school days, I was completely lost. The terminology was not established in my mind and I wasn't smart enough to figure out their meaning. Now that my vocabulary is vast, I can make the connections and understand what you're saying.. You are a fantastic teacher and you have a voice that has the right tone. Thank you for caring and sharing. Big 🤠🤗.
Thank you!

I'll take 7/8 because I should have taken more time with #6 :) FYI back during the cold war, this type of communication was used in the clandestine service as code. This service was the right arm of the C.I.A. Now it is known as the "third option "(ASC) when all else has failed 1&2, resort to the #3 (Black ops) known as the third option. Just a bit of the history of how our English language has been used ;) 👍
Teacher can you make a video about "to" and "for" . I want to know the difference between them 😅😊
You continue to challenge me. I missed #2 by not changing haven't to have, after removing never. It did not occur to me to use 'have never been'. I'm not sure if my version would be correct, i.e., haven't been? I truly enjoy your videos and how they test my understanding!

Your version would also be correct! That means you got a perfect score. :)
Thank you for the lesson. I got seven out of eight. Number 6 was a difficult one for me. Looking forward to your next lesson. Best wishes and regards! 😀
