Welcome to B1 — from this lesson forward, everything is in English. The present perfect connects a past action to the present moment. It's formed with have/has + past participle, and it's used for experiences, unfinished time periods, and recent news.
Why this matters This lesson connects directly to your progress: it covers form: have / has + past participle; talking about experience: ever / never; just, already, and yet. Mastering this content lets you move forward confidently, and reinforces patterns you'll use again later. Take time to review every example before moving to the assessment — repetition is what actually locks knowledge in long-term.
01
The goals of this lesson.
02
You already know how to talk about the past (Past Simple) and the present. This lesson introduces the Present Perfect — a tense with no exact equivalent in Spanish, connecting something that happened before to right now.
03
Use "have" for I/you/we/they, and "has" for he/she/it. The past participle is the third form of the verb — regular verbs add "-ed", but many common verbs are irregular.
| Subject | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| I / you / we / they | have + past participle | I have visited. |
| he / she / it | has + past participle | She has visited. |
Examples
04
"Ever" is used in questions to ask about life experience up to now. "Never" is used to say something has not happened at any point in your life.
Examples
05
"Just" means a very short time ago. "Already" emphasizes something happened sooner than expected. "Yet" is used in negatives and questions to ask if something has happened up to now.
Examples
06
Read the text and answer the questions. You can try as many times as you want — you'll be told what you got right and what you got wrong.
Marta has had a busy morning. She has already answered ten emails, and she has just finished a meeting with her team. She hasn't had breakfast yet, though — she says she never has time in the mornings.
Have you ever had a morning like that? Marta has worked at this company for three years, and she has never been late once. Her boss has already noticed her dedication, and he has just offered her a promotion.
1. How many emails has Marta already answered?
2. Has Marta had breakfast yet?
3. How long has Marta worked at the company?
4. Has Marta ever been late?
5. What has Marta's boss just done?
