The Present Perfect Tense Use the present perfect tense to talk about happenings in the past that explain or affect the present. The verbs have and has are used as “helping” or auxiliary verbs to form the present perfect tense. It’s been very wet today. Kim’s cut her finger. Sam has scored two goals. I’ve just finished my shower. The Lees have moved to Ohio. It has not rained for months. Have you found your keys yet? To form the present perfect tense join have or has to the past participle of the verb: have + past participle has + past participle The past participle of a regular verb usually ends in - ed, just like the simple past tense. But the past participles of irregular verbs don’t follow this rule. Exercise 1 Write the past participle of these verbs on the blanks. broken 1- break _______________ bought 6- buy _______________ drunk 2- drink _______________ found 7- find _______________ cut 3- cut _______________ drawn 8- draw _______________ done 4- do _______________ heard 9- hear _______________ sung 5- sing _______________ known 10- know _______________ Exercise 2 Fill in the blanks with the present perfect tense of the verbs in parentheses. has lost 1- Dad ______________ his car key.
