The Present Perfect Simple Tense
How to form the present perfect
- Learn about USING the present perfect here
- For a list of all the present perfect exercises, click here
- 'have' / 'has' + the past participle
- Make the past participle by adding 'ed' to regular verbs (for example, 'play' becomes 'played')
- There are a few verbs that change their spelling when you add 'ed' (for example, 'study' becomes 'studied')
- We also have some completely irregular verbs
(Also, here's some help if you are not sure how to pronounce '-ed' at the end of a verb).
Positive | Positive Short Form |
I have played | I've played |
you have worked | you've worked |
he has written | he's written |
she has walked | she's walked |
it has rained | it's rained |
we have travelled | we've travelled |
they have studied | they've studied |
The negative is really simple too. Just put 'not' after 'have' or 'has':
Negative | Negative Short Form |
I have not eaten breakfast today | I haven't eaten |
you have not been to Asia | you haven't been |
he has not seen the new film | he hasn't seen |

To make a question, put 'have' or 'has' in front of the subject:
'Yes / No' Questions |
have I missed the bus? |
have you visited London? |
has he worked as a waiter before? |
has she met John? |
has it been cold this week? |

As you can imagine, for 'wh' questions, we just put the question word before 'have' or 'has':
'Wh' Questions |

what have you done today? |
why has he gone already? |
where has she been in the UK? |
