El presente perfecto equivale más o menos al pretérito perfecto del
español. El
"present perfect" es un tiempo que sirve para describir acciones que
acaban de suceder en el pasado y que guardan alguna relación con el presente.
Para formar
el presente perfecto, se usa el verbo auxiliar "to have" en el
presente y el participio pasado del verbo. Para verbos regulares, el participio
pasado es la forma simple del pasado.

Nota 1: Ten en cuenta que hay muchos participios pasados
irregulares en inglés. En este caso no se le añade -ed como a los
verbos regulares, sino que cambia su forma, ejemplo: buy, bought, bought. El
participio sería la tercera forma.
Nota 2: Ten
en cuenta que para la tercera persona del singular (he, she, it) el verbo have
cambia a has.
La forma negativa se forma con la partícula
de negación "not" entre el auxiliar y el verbo principal.

Fanny,porque en la pag del libro 133 ejercicio 4A (a) hay que pasar las frases a present perfect y en el ejemplo nos pone he / clean the car -- he´s cleaned the car . Cuando pienso que sería-- he has cleaned the car-- ¿Es así o estoy equibocado ?
ResponderEliminarThe book is right. They use the contraction. He has cleaned= he's cleaned. It's not the verb to be. :)
