00:00:01,459 --> 00:00:07,200
So, in this video, we're going to talk about present perfect, the present perfect tense.

2
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:09,240
So, what is that for?

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:19,300
Well, we use it when we want to talk about experiences, to say things that we have done at some time in our life.

4
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,920
But we don't say when we did it.

5
00:00:23,859 --> 00:00:25,579
So, how do we make the present perfect?

6
00:00:25,579 --> 00:00:31,739
Well, we need the subject, the person who did the action, I or you or he.

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,960
And then we need have or has.

8
00:00:36,659 --> 00:00:39,200
And then the participle of the verb.

9
00:00:39,780 --> 00:00:43,240
The participle, remember, is the third column.

10
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,219
If it's irregular, you have to look in your list.

11
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:51,219
And if it's irregular, it ends in ed.

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,359
So let's just repeat how we say it.

13
00:00:55,579 --> 00:01:09,939
I have, you have, he has, she has, it has, we have, you have, they have.

14
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:13,439
And then you need the participle of the verb.

15
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,340
So, for example, I have visited France.

16
00:01:18,079 --> 00:01:19,900
I have visited France.

17
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,840
We have seen a lion.

18
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,799
He has eaten sushi.

19
00:01:28,659 --> 00:01:30,879
They have done many exams.

20
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,760
She has played basketball.

21
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:42,900
And all of these sentences are talking about experiences, things that we have done.
