The present perfect simple tense, often simply called ‘the Present Perfect,’ is formed using the verb ‘have’ followed by the past participle.
You will concentrate on forming and using questions in the present perfect tense. This tense allows us to ask about experiences, completed actions with relevance to the present, and ongoing situations.
You’ll practice crafting yes/no questions as well as ‘wh’ questions to explore how to inquire about various aspects of someone’s experiences or recent actions. Mastering these question forms will help you engage more effectively in conversations and gather detailed information.
Questions:
To form yes/no questions, place ‘have’ or ‘has’ before the subject.
- Have I missed the bus?
- Have you visited London?
- Has he worked as a waiter before?
- Has she talked to her boss?
- Has it rained?
- Have we cooked lunch?
- Have they listened to the podcast?
For ‘wh’ questions, begin with a question word, followed by ‘have’ or ‘has’ and then the subject.
- What have I played?
- Who have you talked to?
- Why has he walked away?
- Where has she stayed?
- Why has it rained so much this summer?
