$GRAMMAR The Present Perfect Tense
ID: l1-s9
INTRO: Here's how the tense is built and when to use it — plus the difference between "for" and "since".
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| John | has | | now. |
| John | had | a red car | last year. |
| John | has had | | for six months. |
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robert | is | | today. |
| Robert | was | in New York | Thursday. |
| Robert | has been | | since Monday. |
We use the present perfect tense to talk about three kinds of actions: (1) those that began in the past and are still happening, (2) those that just ended, and (3) those that occurred at an indefinite time. This lesson covers the verbs **be** and **have**.
**EXAMPLES:**
{They have been here for a month.} (They got here a month ago, and they're still here.)
{Ed has already had dinner.} (He just finished eating.)
{He has been to Europe before.} (I'm not sure when he went.)
We often use **for** or **since** with the present perfect tense. **For** refers to a period of time. **Since** refers to a point in time.
**EXAMPLES:**

$GRAMMAR The Present Perfect Progressive Tense
ID: l1-s21
INTRO: Here's how the new tense is built — and how it differs from the plain present perfect.
Like the present perfect tense, the present perfect progressive tense is used to refer to actions or events that began in the past and continue into the present.
There is a difference between the two tenses. The present perfect progressive is closer to the present than the present perfect is. The present perfect progressive stresses that an action or event is not finished. It also suggests that it will continue into the future.
**EXAMPLE:**
{They've been talking on the phone for an hour.}
*(They're talking now and may talk for another hour.)*
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keith | has | been | studying since 4:30. |
| Ann and Bob | have | been | studying since 4:30. |
