GRAMMAR

PRESENT PERFECT

 

I. PresentPerfect образуется с помощью вспомогательного глагола tohave и страдательного причастия, то есть по формуле:

 

have

+ ParticipleII (3-яформаглагола)

has

Утвердительные предложения:

I have seen it	We have seen it
You have seen it	You have seen it
He / she / it has seen it	They have seen it

Вопросительные предложения:

Have I seen it?	Have we seen it?
Have you seen it?	(How many times) Have you seen it?
Has he / she / it seen it?	(What game) Have they seen it?

Отрицательные предложения:

I have not seen it	We have not seen it
You have not seen it	You have not seen it
He / she / it has not seen it	They have not seen it

 

 

II. PresentPerfect выражает действие, предшествующее настоящему, но связанное с ним. Это настоящее время; нам важно то, что в настоящем есть результат. Используя PresentPerfect, мы говорим, благодаря какому именно прошлому действию мы сейчас имеем такой результат.

Напр.: She’ swritten abook. – Она написала книгу. (Результат – Есть книга.

Можете прочитать её. И т.п.)

She ’sread thisbook. – Она прочитала эту книгу. (Результат – Она знает

её содержание. Не нужно ей дарить эту книгу. И

т.п.)

PresentPerfect употребляется:

1) если не указано, когда в прошлом совершилось действие.

They ’ve left.

2) если указан период времени, который ещё не закончился, то есть включает и настоящий момент, напр.: today, thisweek, thisyear и т.п.

I ’ve seen two good films this month.

3) с такими словами, как just (в значении «только что»)

lately

recently

since

He ’s just come.

Have you seen her since you left school?

She hasn’t called us lately.

 

часто со словами ever

never

yet

already

Have you ever been to London?

I ’ve never seen her.

He hasn’t given an answer yet.

Have they arrived yet?

She ’s already finished her lunch.

4) вконструкции “It’s the first / second, etc. time …”

It’s the first time I ’ve done it.

It’s the third time he ’s been here.

 

III. Обратите внимание!

1) She’ sbeento thecinema. – Она ходила в кино (но уже вернулась)

She ’sgoneto thecinema. – Она пошла в кино (и ещё не вернулась)

2) Слово yet употребляется только в вопросительных и отрицательных предложениях. В отрицаниях оно значит ещё (нет), в вопросах – уже.

В утвердительных предложениях уже будет по-английски already.Already используется в вопросах, только если вы хотите выразить удивление, поскольку что-то совершилось раньше, чем ожидалось.

3) Мы используем PresentPerfect со словом just, только если оно значит только что.

I ’ve just seen her.

I just saw her, we didn’t talk.

Exercise 5. Listen to the song.

Brighton in the Rain

original lyrics by Robert Campbell

I'venever been to Athens and I've never been to Rome

I'veonly seen the Pyramids in picture books at home

I've never sailed across the sea or been inside a plane

I'vealways spent my holidays in Brighton in the rain.

 

I've never eaten foreign food or drunk in a foreign bar

I've never kissed a foreign girl or driven a foreign car

I've never had to find my way in a country I don't know

I'vealways known just where I am and where I’ll never go.

I'veread travel books by writers who have been to Pakistan

I've heard people telling stories of adventures in Iran

I've watched TV documentaries about China and Brazil

But I've never been abroad myself; it’s making me feel ill.

I'vestudied several languages like Hindi and Malay

I've learnt lots of useful sentences I've never been able to say

The furthest place I've ever been was to the Isle of Man

And that was full of tourists from Jamaica and Japan.

 

I've never been to Athens and I've never been to Rome

I'veonly seen the Pyramids in picture books at home

I've never sailed across the sea or been inside a plane

I'vealways spent my holidays in Brighton in the rain.
