Present perfect tense

O presente perfeito é usado para expressar uma ação que aconteceu num passado recente, porém não determinado: Ex.: I have painted the room. Também pode expressar a ação que acabou de acontecer, caso em que se usa o advérbio just (agora mesmo). Ex.: I have just painted the room. É formado pelo verbo auxiliar to have no presente simples (have, has)+ o particípio passado do verbo principal: HAS/HAVE + THE PAST PARTICIPLE DO VERBO PRINCIPAL. O particiípio passado é formado com a adição de -ED no final do verbo: Walk = walked. Quando o verbo termina em -E, adicionamos somente-D: Arrive = arrived. Quando overbo termina em -Y troca-se o Y por -I e adicionamos- ED: Cry = cried. Com os verbos irregulares, o particípio passado destes verbos não segue nenhuma regra (ver últimas páginas do seu caderno de Aulas de Inglês).  Observe os exemplos: Mr. Hook has studied the moon for 30 years.  Mr. Hook has studied the moon since 1950. NOTA: Since (desde) indica o início da ação e For (por, há, durante) indica a duração da ação. O presente perfeito é usado também para expressar ações que começaram no passado e se prolongam até o presente. O presente perfeito é usado ainda com alguns advérbios: Just (acabar de) indica ação que acabou de ocorrer e aparece entre o verbo auxiliar e o verbo principal. Already (já) é usado em frases afirmativas e interrogativas e aparece entre o verbo auxiliar e o verbo principal. Yet (já) é usado nas frases interrogativas. Yet (ainda) é usado nas frases negativas. Nos dois casos aparecem sempre no final da frase.
Observe os exemplos:
They have just tried the new formula.
They have already tried the new formula.
Have they already tried the new formula?
Have they tried the new formula yet?
They haven’t tried the new formula yet.
Forma afirmativa:
I have walked- You have walked- He, she, it has walked- We have walked- You have walked- They have walked
Forma negativa – Acrescenta-se o not ao verbo auxiliar (haven’t, hasn’t)
I have not walked- You have not walked- He, she, it has not walked- We have not walked- You have not walked- They have not walked
Forma interrogativa – Coloca-se o verbo auxiliar (have,has)antes do sujeito.
Have I walked?- Have you walked?- Has he, she, it walked?- Have we walked?- Have you walked? - Have they walked?
