Presente Perfecto (Present Perfect Tense) USOS

El Presente Perfecto en el idioma inglés es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para referirnos a acciones que suceden en

un pasado reciente y que guardan alguna relación con el presente.

Por ejemplo:

I have sent the letter. (Yo he enviado la carta.) Indica que la acción acaba de suceder.

Emily has watched “Ghost” many times. (Emily ha visto “Ghost” muchas veces) Indica una acción repetida

FORMA AFIRMATIVA

Para poder construir la forma afirmativa del Presente Perfecto debemos utilizar como auxiliar el

verbo HAVE en Presente Simple (HAVE / HAS) y acompañado por el verbo principal en su forma Pasado Participio

(ya sean verbos regulares o verbos irregulares):

Por ejemplo:

I have bought a new dress. Yo he comprado un nuevo vestido.

You have studied the lesson. Tú has estudiado la lección.

He has broken the window. Él ha roto la ventana.

She has lost the keys. Ella ha perdido las llaves.

Recuerden que a las 3º personas del singular deben colocar la “S” en elauxiliar ya que se trata del Presente Simple.

FORMA INTERROGATIVA / PREGUNTAS

En cambio, para formar una interrogación deberemos colocar el auxiliar al comienzo de la oración, luego el sujeto y

posteriormente el verbo principal también en Pasado Participio:

Have I bought a new dress? He comprado un nuevo vestido?

Have you studied the lesson? Has estudiado la lección?

Has he broken the window? Ha roto él la ventana?

Has she lost the keys? Ha perdido ella las llaves?

FORMA NEGATIVA

Por su parte, la forma negativa se forma poniendo la negación NOT entre el auxiliar y el verbo principal, por ejemplo:

I have not bought a new dress. Yo no he comprado un nuevo vestido.

You have not studied the lesson. Tú no has estudiado la lección.

He has not broken the window. Él no ha roto la ventana.

She has not lost the keys. Ella no ha perdido la llave.

También puede utilizarse la forma contraída de la negación colocando HAVEN’T o HASN’T según corresponda.

Cabe destacar que cuando hablamos en Presente Perfecto no debemos mencionar el momento en que se ha

producido la acción, ya que de hacerlo deberíamos utilizar el Pasado Simple, por ejemplo:

I have sold my car. (Yo he vendido mi auto) Presente Perfecto

I sold my car this morning. (Yo vendí mi auto esta mañana) Pasado Simple
