Using the Present Perfect Tense

Are you wondering when to use the present perfect tense? Or I should say, "have you learned" when to use the present perfect? We use this tense to talk about an action that started in the past and   has a connection to the present.

[Note: Click here to learn  how to form   the present perfect.]

Use #1:   Describe past situations / things that have a strong connection to the present

We use the present perfect simple to describe an action  or state that started at an unknown or unspecified time in the past  AND has a connection to the present .

Learners are sometimes confused by this. They ask, if this tense is called the "present" perfect, why are we talking about "past" actions? Excellent question.

With this tense we're talking about the past   and the present . These actions or situations may have started and ended in the past but we are focusing on the effect of this action now in the present moment. Let's look at some examples to try to make this clearer:

• Your poor grades have become a problem. (The result now is that there is a problem.)
• Have you seen Selma? (Where is she now?)
• She 's gone to school. (She left home and is at school now.)
• Take off your shoes. I have just cleaned the floor. (A short while ago I mopped the dirty floor and it is clean now.)
• I can't find my keys. Have you seen them? (I lost my keys and can't find them now.)
• Have you done your homework? (Is your homework finished now?)
• I started but I haven't finished my homework yet. (My homework is not finished now.)
• I've been sick all day. (I'm still sick now.)

In each of these examples we are focusing on the result now or why the action is important at this present time.

Use #2: Describe past actions or conditions that continue in the present

It's usually easier for learners to understand the second use which is for actions that started in the past and are still continuing in the present moment.

The tense helps to answer " how long ago " something has been happening (in relation to now) or for how long a period of time  something has been happening. 

FOR / SINCE

We often use the words " since " (after a specific time) or " for " (a period of time) with this usage.

• We have lived here for  25 years.(We came here 25 years ago and still live here.) 
• My parents have been married since   1967. (They're still married.)
• We 've waited 20 minutes already for the bus. (We are still waiting.)
• My daughter has been sick for a week.
• I haven’t slept for two days.
• We haven’t seen each other since high school.
• I haven’t had a drink since the accident.
• He hasn’t dated anyone since his wife left him.
• I haven’t smoked a cigarette for three months now.

Note : we cannot use the present perfect tense with a completed time word. For example:

• Wrong:   We have seen the movie last night.  (Correct: we saw the movie last night.)
• Wrong :  Yesterday, I had worked very late. (Correct: Yesterday, I worked very late.)

With finished time words we use the present simple.

Use #3:  To ask about whether we ever   had past experiences

We frequently use the present perfect tense to ask or talk about whether someone has  experienced something during their life (at any time in the past until this moment).

EVER / NEVER / BEFORE

Often, we use the words " ever " (in questions) and " never ".  We will sometimes also add the word " before ."

• Have you ever   eaten fried insects?
• No, I haven't   tried fried insects and never will.
• Has  Jimmy ever   been this sick before?
• Have you taken private English lessons?
• I ' ve never travelled by train before.
• Have the children  ever   done something like this before?
• Never   in my life have I been so much in love.

Adverbs that are frequently used with the present perfect tense:  Already / yet / just / still

The following words (adverbials) are often used with the present perfect tense:

Just describes something that happened a short time before this moment.

• I 've just   received your email and will read it now.
• He 's just   arrived , I hear the car pulling to the garage.
• I'm so excited. Lady Gaga has just   released her latest album.

Just about means that something that was started is almost finished .

• I 've just about   finished this novel.
• Have you finished the report yet? Just about .
• I 've just about   used up all the milk.

Already has two main meanings:

1. Already = before this time (before now)

• Where's that letter? I 've already   mailed it.
• Can I help you clean? I 've already   swept to the floor but you can vacuum the carpet.
• We 've already   eaten at that restaurant so let's go somewhere else.

2. Already = so soon (something happened quickly or earlier than expected)

• We need to take the trash out. I 've already   taken it out.
• Has my boyfriend arrived already? I'm still getting dressed.
• You don't have to ask. Your mother has already   ironed your shirt.

Yet = at this time , until this time , as soon as this time

Note :  Yet usually comes at the end of the sentence. We use yet with negative statements and questions.

• Have my parents arrived yet?   (They are expected to arrive soon.)
• Have you finished the report yet?   (It should be done or finished soon.)
• He hasn't called yet.   (Until this time he hasn't called but he should call soon.)
• It's 3 o'clock and I haven't had lunch yet .

We use still in negative sentences with the present perfect to emphasize an action or situation happening or existing before now and continuing into the present:

• I can't believe you still   haven't written your paper.
• He said he sent an email an hour ago but I still  haven't received it.
• We still   haven't decided what to eat for lunch.

Simple Past Tense | Structure, Rules, Usage and Examples

Simple past tense, also known as past indefinite tense, allows us to talk about events or actions that happened in the past and are now completed. It’s a straightforward way of expressing that something occurred at a specific point in time before the present moment. Understanding the simple past tense is crucial when describing past events, narrating stories, or expressing historical facts. This tense expresses actions or states that have no connection to the present or future moments. In this article, we will explore the structure, rules, usage, and various examples of the simple past tense to help you better understand this important grammatical concept. So let’s get started!

What is Simple Past Tense?

Simple Past Tense is used to talk about actions or events that happened and were completed in the past. In simple words, it’s a way of expressing what happened before the current moment. This tense is formed by using the past form of the main verb , which is often formed by adding “ -ed ” to regular verbs, while irregular verbs have unique past forms. For regular verbs, the past tense follows a consistent pattern. For example, the base form “walk” becomes “walked” in the past tense. Irregular verbs, however, don’t follow the same pattern, and their past forms must be memorized. For instance, “go” becomes “went,” and “eat” becomes “ate.”

Simple past tense helps us communicate when something occurred and provides a clear timeline of events. For instance, “Yesterday, I walked to the store and bought some groceries.” Here, “walked” and “bought” are both in the simple past tense, indicating that these actions happened and were completed in the past. Simple Past Tense is used when the time of the action or event is clearly in the past, and there is no connection to the present. This tense doesn’t provide information about the duration of an action; it simply communicates that the action or event is completed.

For example:

• I ate pizza for lunch. (eat)
• We watched a movie last night. (watch)
• I studied for the exam all night. (study)
• He bought a new car last month. (buy)
• He fixed the broken window. (fix)

Negative Form:

To form the negative simple past tense, you generally use the auxiliary verb “did” followed by “not” (“did not” or “didn’t”), and then the base form of the main verb. it is essential to remember that the main verb remains in its base form (the infinitive form without “to”) when forming negative sentences in the simple past tense.

• Statement: He went to the store.
• Negative: He didn’t go to the store.
• She did not pass the exam.
• I did not see you at the party.
• He did not eat lunch at noon.
• We did not find the lost keys.
• The team didn’t win the game last night.

Interrogative Form:

Questions are formed by using the auxiliary verb “ did ” followed by the subject and the base form of the main verb.

• Statement: We watched a movie.
• Question: Did we watch a movie?
• Did he pass the exam ?
• Did they visit the museum ?
• Did he call you yesterday ?
• Did they find the lost keys ?
• Did you enjoy the movie last night ?

Structure of Simple Past Tense

Positive sentences:.

• They ate pizza for dinner.
• She read a book before bed.
• He bought a new car last month.

Negative Sentences:

• I didn’t eat breakfast this morning.
• I did not see that movie before.
• I did not finish my homework last night.

Interrogative Sentences (yes/no questions):

• Did you read the book?
• Did he call you last night?
• Did you finish your homework?

Interrogative Sentences (wh-questions):

Wh-word: (who, what, where, when, why, how)

• What did you eat for dinner?
• Where did they go on vacation?
• Why did she resign from her job?

Negative Interrogative Sentences:

• Did she not like the book?
• Did he not call you back?
• Did she not   finish her homework?

Simple Past Tense Timeline:

Simple Past Tense refers to actions completed in the past. It’s used to talk about specific, finished events or states that occurred before the present moment. It helps establish a clear timeframe for events that are no longer happening in the present.

| ——–Past——— | ——-Present——- >

He watched a movie. | (the action is completed before the present moment)

Simple Past Tense Time Words:

It’s important to note that the Simple Past Tense is often used with time expressions like yesterday, last year, in 2005, or specific periods in the past. They are essential in Simple Past Tense to specify when an action occurred. Here are some basic words and expressions that are often associated with the simple past tense:

Simple Past Tense Uses:

• Completed Actions: Use to talk about actions that started and finished in the past.
• Sequencing Events: Describe a series of completed events in chronological order.
• Habits or Routines in the Past: Discuss past routines or repeated actions.
• Past States: Express a state of being in the past.
• Changes Over Time: Explain how things were different in the past.

• Time Expressions: Use words like “yesterday,” “last month,” or “in 2005.”
• Past Facts: Used for statements of fact in the past or past events in literature

Regular vs Irregular Verbs

The Simple past tense is formed by adding the past tense marker “-ed” to regular verbs or using the irregular form of the verb.

Regular Verbs:

Formation: Regular verbs follow a predictable pattern in the past tense. To form the Simple Past Tense for regular verbs, you typically add “-ed” to the base form of the verb.

• Walk (Base) → Walked (Simple Past)
• Play (Base) → Played (Simple Past)
• Talk (Base) → Talked (Simple Past)

In the Simple Past Tense, regular verbs follow a straightforward pattern by adding “-ed” to their base form.

Irregular Verbs:

Formation: Have unique past tense forms that don’t follow a predictable pattern.

• Go (Base) → Went (Simple Past)
• Eat (Base) → Ate (Simple Past)
• Take (Base) → Took (Simple Past)

Irregular verbs in the Simple Past Tense do not follow the regular “-ed” pattern. Instead, they have distinct forms that need to be memorized.

Simple Past Tense Rules:

• Regular Verbs: Add “-ed” to the base form for simple past tense. Example: Walk → Walked .
• Irregular Verbs: Have unique past forms. Example: Go → Went .
• Negative Form: Use “did not” + base verb. Example: I did not eat .
• Question Form: Begin with “Did” + base verb. Example: Did you finish?
• Base Verbs:  Use base verbs (V1) in negative and interrogative sentences.
• Time Words: Use words like yesterday, last week, or ago to indicate past time.
• Habitual Actions: Describe repeated past actions. Example: I always ate breakfast.
• Completed Actions: Express events that happened and finished. Example: I finished my homework.
• Series of Events: Narrate a sequence of actions. Example: He woke up , brushed , and had breakfast.

Past simple or past continuous?

Please log in or register to add a comment.

The first one is more natural if you are referring to an action that was in progress at 8 o'clock. But it is not possible to omit the subject in English, pronoun " I " in this case.

If you are referring to an action that was concluded before 8 o'clock, you should use Past Perfect and a different preposition, " by 8 o'clock" in this case.

E.g.: I had finished my homework by 8 o'clock last night.

Both sentences are syntactically incorrect, i.e. the word order is not respected. 

You have two options: 1) to use a comma for emphasis: At 8 o'clock last night , I was doing my homework; 2) to put the whole adverbial phrase after the object: I was doing my homework at 8 o'clock last night .
