Don’t Know What English Grammar to Use?
You have come to the right place!
The Most Complete English Grammar Course Ever!
I have designed this complete English Grammar to Use course to help students master all aspects of English grammar in the easiest and most comprehensive way possible.
If you want to know what English Grammar to Use every day, you have come to the right place.
I wanted it to be better than even the best English grammar books on the market today.
Students can not only read about each grammar point, but they can also hear the author explaining each point clearly in a British English accent.
Past to Present
We can talk about finished actions using both the present perfect and the past simple.
- Captain Britlish has twisted his knee.
- Captain Britlish twisted his knee last week.
- Captain Britlish did twist his knee last week.
All of these statements are true, and all refer to a finished action.
It’s logical that anything which is finished must be in the past.
What the present perfect does that the past simple cannot do is to form a connection between the past finished action and the present.
We can only use a finished time expression like last week with the past simple.
Present Perfect Past to Present
In this Grammar Activation Pack, I want to focus on how the present perfect connects events in the past with the present.
As I said, logically anything that is finished must have happened in the past.
The present perfect uses the present tense of the finite verb have, which as you know is have or has, and the past participle of a non-finite verb.
It is this combination of the present and the past that gives us our biggest clue as to how the perfect aspect and the present tense work together.
