TRANSCRIPT

Emma: Hello. My name is Emma, and we have a very special video for you today. Okay? In todays video youre going to learn a little bit of grammar about the present perfect, and then you are going to play a really fun game. Not only are you going to get to play a fun game, youre also going to get to meet my sister. Yes, Emma has a sister, so youll get to see my sister a little bit later because she is going to play the game with us as well. So, lets get started and let me teach you this grammar point, so then we can get to the fun stuff. Okay?

So, today were going to talk about the present perfect. The present perfect is a bit of grammar. Okay? Its a type of tense that many students get very frustrated with. They dont know: "Do I use the present perfect? Do I use the past tense?" It can be really difficult. So, when do we use the present perfect, and what is the present perfect?

Well, let me first give you an example of a present perfect sentence, because maybe youve seen something like this before. "Have you ever been to France?", "Have you ever lived in a different city?", "Has your sister ever been on TV?" These are three examples of the present perfect.

So, when do we use the present perfect? Well, theres different times we use the present perfect in English. In todays lesson, were going to focus on using the present perfect to talk about a past experience. So, this is something interesting. An experience is usually an interesting experience; although it doesnt have to be. So, its an experience that has happened in the past. So, its not happening now, its not happening in the future; its already happened. It happened before, in the past. Thats why a lot of students have a hard time with the present perfect because they see the word "present", and they get confused. "But how can we be talking about the past?"

Well, the present perfect can be used to talk about a past experience, and we use it to talk about a past experience when were just talking about something that happened, but were not talking about when it happened. Were not talking about a specific time; were not talking about a date. Were talking generally about an experience that happened in the past.

So, I wanted to focus on present perfect questions to ask people about their experiences, because a lot of conversations start this way or have this in them. So, when we ask a person a question about the past experience, we can ask them: "Have you ever...?" This indicates we want to know something about somebodys past. "Have you ever been to France?" for example. So Im asking you: "In the past, have you been to France?"

So, to create the present perfect, lets talk about form now. We have: "Have you ever" and then we add something called a past participle to make it the present perfect. So, whats a past participle? Well, a "past participle" is a form of the verb. So, for example, in this case we have the verb "be", "to be". The past participle form of the verb "to be" is "been". Okay? In this case, we have: "Have you ever" and we have our past participle. Whats a past participle again? Its a verb in a specific form. Okay? So its a specific form of a verb. In this case, "lived" is the past participle of "live" or "to live". And our last example. Oh, we have "been" again, which Ive already discussed.

So, we use past participles in the present perfect. Now, this is where it gets a little bit challenging. There are two different types of past participles; we have our regular past participles and our irregular past participles. So, whats a "regular past participle"? Well, this is a verb where we just add "ed". Okay? So, for example: "play" becomes "played", and I add "ed", and that makes it a past participle. Another example is just down here: "lived". "Live", we add "ed" and it becomes "lived", and thats an example of a regular past participle. Okay? So, have you ever...? […]
