i The Present Perfect is formed with have / has + Past Participle of the main verb.

Affirmative (+) Negative (-) Question (?)
I have (I’ve) worked You have (You’ve) worked He/She/It has (he’s) worked We have (we’ve) worked They have (they’ve) worked I have not (haven’t)worked You have not (haven’t)worked He/She/It has not(hasn’t)worked We have not (haven’t) worked They have not (haven’t) worked Have I worked? Have you worked? Has he /she/it worked? Have we worked? Have they worked?

 

ii Regular verbs like work form the Past Participle with –d or –ed. In verb tables, the 2nd column (Past Simple) and 3rd column (Past Participle) are the same: work- work ed – work ed

Irregular verbs often have a different Past Simple and Past Participle: do – did – done, go – went – gone.

The contractions (in brackets) are used in speech and informal writing.

iii We use the Present Perfect to talk about actions that continue from the past to the present.

e.g. I have worked here for five years. (And I’m still working here now.)

He has lived in Barcelona for two years. (And he’s still living there now.)

iv We often use the Present Perfect to talk about life experiences.

e.g. She has had three jobs since she left university.

He hasn’t had any experience in marketing.

Have you ever worked abroad? Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t.

v We use the Present Perfect to talk about the present result of a past action.

e.g. I’ve lost my wallet - I can’t find it anywhere.

Your taxi has arrived. See you again soon – have a safe journey!

vi for and since

for + number of days / months / years

e.g. I’ve worked here for a year.

since + a time in the past

e.g. He has worked here since July 2009.
