Hi, everyone. I hope that you have been staying safe and healthy during the quarantine.

2
00:00:09,580 --> 00:00:15,859
Today, I'm going to talk to you a little bit about the present perfect tense in English.

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:22,719
You might have heard the present perfect tense before, but maybe you haven't used it.

4
00:00:23,019 --> 00:00:28,760
So I'm going to talk to you a little bit about this tense, how you would use it,

5
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:37,500
some examples of myself using it. And then I'm going to ask you some questions so that you can

6
00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:46,100
practice making sentences using the present perfect. So the present perfect tense is a

7
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:54,460
present tense that's used to show that an action has taken place once or many times before this

8
00:00:54,460 --> 00:01:01,359
moment, before, right now. It's used, it's also used to talk about experiences or changes that

9
00:01:01,359 --> 00:01:09,280
have taken place, but there's also some other uses too. So to form a sentence or a phrase with

10
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:18,280
the present perfect tense, you need to either use have or has. Have would be for I, you, we,

11
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:27,000
and they, and has for third person singular. So that would be he, she, or it. So you need have

12
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:38,579
or has, and then you need the verb in the present participle. For example, done, gone, been. Those

13
00:01:38,579 --> 00:01:46,540
are all verbs in the present, in the past participle. So you need have or has in the

14
00:01:46,540 --> 00:01:53,099
past participle. For example, I will tell you right now what I have done during

15
00:01:53,099 --> 00:02:01,719
the quarantine. So, during the quarantine I have done many things. I have read a

16
00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:10,860
lot of books. I have watched a lot of series on Netflix. I have cooked some new

17
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:21,439
recipes. I have been practicing or I have practiced my Spanish. I have talked with my roommate,

18
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:30,900
my roommate who lives in my flat with me. I have slept. I have slept a lot. I have listened to

19
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:41,379
music, I have played games, and I have gone to the supermarket. I can't remember if I said that.

20
00:02:41,939 --> 00:02:50,960
So those are all things that I have done during the quarantine. Now I'm going to ask you some

21
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:58,939
questions about what you have done and in between each question I will pause so that you have time

22
00:02:58,939 --> 00:03:07,020
to think in your head how you could answer the question using the present perfect. So maybe you

23
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:15,300
answer in your head or maybe you want to say it out loud, but here are some questions for you to

24
00:03:15,300 --> 00:03:28,750
think about. So during the quarantine, have you read any books? Have you watched any television?

25
00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:51,819
Have you cooked any food? Have you played games? Have you practiced English? Have you done

26
00:03:51,819 --> 00:04:05,870
homework? Have you listened to music? Have you helped your family around the house?

27
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:18,930
And have you been bored? I hope you haven't been bored. I've been a little bored, but I think that's

28
00:04:18,930 --> 00:04:25,910
normal. Well, thank you for listening and I hope that you have the opportunity to practice your

29
00:04:25,910 --> 00:04:32,470
English a little more while you're at home and I'll see you back at school.
