Present Perfect Tense (Yakın Geçmiş Zaman)

Bu zaman yapısı Türkçede olmayan bir zaman yapısıdır. Bu yüzden Türk öğreniciler çoğu zaman bu zaman yapısını kavramakta zorlanmaktadır.

Öncelikle, bu tür cümlelerdeki mantığı anlatmak yararlı olacaktır.

Bir kitap okumaya başladınız. Kitabı okumaya başladıktan 1 saat sonra arkadaşınız sizi ziyarete geldi ve okuduğunuz kitabı istedi.

Bu durumda verebileceğimiz olası yanıtlar:


"Daha yeni başladım. Bir saattir okuyorum. Bitince veririm."
"Daha 100 sayfa okudum. Bitirince Veririm"
"Henüz bitirmedim. Daha sonra veririm."
"Bitirmedim. Yine de alabilirsin."


Şimdi bu yanıtlar içinde yer alan bazı cümlelere bakalım:


Bir saattir okuyorum.
Daha yüz sayfa okudum.
Henüz bitirmedim.
Bitirmedim.


Dikkat ederseniz yukarıdaki 4 cümlede de eylemlerin başlama noktası "geçmiş zaman dilimidir" ve eylem konuşma noktasına kadar sürmüştür. İşte bu tarz eylemleri, durumları anlatmak için Present Perfect zaman yapısı kullanılmaktadır.


Present Perfect zaman yapısının genel olarak iki tür kullanım amacı vardır


1- Geçmişte başlayıp şu ana kadar süren durumları - eylemleri anlatmak için kullanılır
I have lived here for 5 years ->Burada 5 yıldır yaşıyorum.

2- Henüz bitmiş eylemleri ifade etmek için kullanılmaktadır
Mehmet has just gone out -> Mehmet şimdi dışarı çıktı.


Bu zaman yapısında cümle kuruluşu şöyledir: Özneden sonra have veya has yardımcı fiili kullanılır; ana fiilimizin ise 3. hali (past participle) kullanılır.


Özne + have / has + fiilin 3.hali

So far, I have read 200 pages -> Şu ana kadar 200 sayfa okudum.
Ahmet has picked 50 apples -> Ahmet 50 elma topladı.

I have done my homework - > Ödevimi yaptım

I have just finished my work -> İşimi henüz bitirdim
You have just finished your work -> İşini henüz bitirdin
We have just finished our work -> İşimizi henüz bitirdik
They have just finished their work -> İşlerini henüz bitirdiler

She has just finished her work ->O İşini henüz bitirdi
He has just finished her work ->O İşini henüz bitirdi
Aylin has just finished her work ->Aylin İşini henüz bitirdi


THE PRESENT PERFECT TENSE
1. Use :

The English Present Perfect tense is used to express actions which have just or already been completed at the time of speaking or writing.
--> I have done the work.
--> She has answered half the questions.

In the first example, the use of the Present Perfect tense emphasizes the fact that, at the time of speaking or writing, the work has already been completed. In the second example, the use of the Present Perfect indicates that, at the time of speaking or writing, half the questions have been answered.

This tense epresses the very recent past:
--> They've just left.

It also tells of a state or situation which has started in the past and is continuing up to now:
--> I have lived there for a long time. (I am still living there.)

The event may be a finished state or activity but the period of time in which it has taken place is not finished:
--> I have written a letter this morning. (the letter is finished and it is still morning)

It tells about an event with a present result :
--> I have lost my keys.


  2. Formation of the present perfect: Regular verbs


The Present Perfect tense of any English verb is formed from the Simple Present of the auxiliary to have, followed by what is generally referred to as the past participle of the verb.

Most English verbs form the past participle in a regular, predictable manner. These verbs are commonly referred to as regular verbs.

The past participle of a regular English verb is formed by adding the ending ed to the bare infinitive of the verb. For instance, the past participle of the verb to work is worked.

Thus, the Present Perfect tense of the verb to work is conjugated as follows:

I have worked
you have worked
he has worked
she has worked
it has worked
we have worked
they have worked

The following contractions are often used in spoken English:

Without Contractions With Contractions
  I have   I've
  you have   you've
  he has   he's
  she has   she's
  it has   it's
  we have   we've
  they have   they've

It should be noted that the contractions for he has, she has and it has are the same as the contractions for he is, she is and it is.


  3. Spelling rules for adding ed to form the past participle


Some regular verbs change their spelling when the ending ed is added to form the past participle.

a. Verbs ending in a silent e
When a regular verb ends in a silent e, only the letter d must be added in order to form the past participle. For example:

Infinitive Past Participle
  to close   closed
  to move   moved
  to please   pleased
  to receive   received

b. Verbs ending in y
When a regular verb ends in y immediately preceded by a consonant, the y is changed to i before the ending ed is added. For example:

Infinitive Past Participle
  to study   studied
  to rely   relied
  to carry   carried

However, when a regular verb ends in y immediately preceded by a vowel, the y is not changed before the ending ed is added. For example:

Infinitive Past Participle
  to play   played
  to convey   conveyed
  to enjoy   enjoyed


c. Verbs ending in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel
The rules concerning the doubling of final consonants which apply when adding the ending ing to form the present participle also apply when adding the ending ed to form the past participle.

Thus, when a one-syllable verb ends in a single consonant other than w, x or y immediately preceded by a single vowel, the final consonant must be doubled before the ending ed is added to form the past participle. In the following examples, the consonants which have been doubled are underlined. For example:

Infinitive Past Participle
  to rub   rubbed
  to trim   trimmed
  to plan   planned
  to stop   stopped

When a verb of more than one syllable ends in a single consonant other than w, x or y immediately preceded by a single vowel, the final consonant is doubled before the ending ed only when the last syllable of the verb is pronounced with the heaviest stress. In the following examples, the syllables pronounced with the heaviest stress are underlined. For example:

Infinitive Past Participle
  to control   controlled
  to infer   inferred
  to occur   occurred
  to permit   permitted
   
  to fasten   fastened
  to order   ordered
  to focus   focused
  to limit   limited

In the first four examples, the last syllable of the verb is pronounced with the heaviest stress, and the final consonant is doubled before ed is added. In the last four examples, the first syllable of the verb is pronounced with the heaviest stress, and the final consonant is not doubled before ed is added.

The final consonants w, x and y are never doubled when the ending ed is added. For example:

Infinitive Past Participle
  to follow   followed
  to box   boxed
  to portray   portrayed

It should also be noted that final consonants immediately preceded by two vowels are not doubled when the ending ed is added. For example:

Infinitive Past Participle
  to greet   greeted
  to rain   rained
  to soak   soaked
  to treat   treated


  4. Pronunciation of the ed ending


The ending ed is usually not pronounced as a separate syllable. For instance, in each of the following examples, both the bare infinitive and the past participle consist of one syllable. For example:

Bare Infinitive Past Participle
  puff   puffed
  work   worked
  miss   missed
  watch   watched

However, when the ending ed is added to verbs which end in d or t, the ed ending of the past participle is pronounced as a separate syllable. The reason for this is that the sounds of d and t are so similar to the sound of the ed ending, that the ending must be pronounced as a separate syllable in order to be heard clearly.

In each of the following examples, the bare infinitive consists of one syllable; whereas the past participle consists of two syllables. For example:

Bare Infinitive Past Participle
  add   added
  land   landed
  hunt   hunted
  wait   waited

Similarly, when d is added to verbs ending in a silent e preceded by d or t, the final ed of the past participle is pronounced as a separate syllable. In each of the following examples, the bare infinitive consists of one syllable; whereas the past participle consists of two syllables. For example:

Bare Infinitive Past Participle
  fade   faded
  glide   glided
  cite   cited
  note   noted


  5. Formation of the present perfect: Irregular verbs


In addition to regular English verbs, there are many irregular English verbs, which do not form the past participle with the ending ed. The English irregular verbs are related to the strong verbs of the German language. The following are examples of irregular English verbs. For example:

Bare Infinitive Past Participle
  begin   begun
  find   found
  go   gone
  let   let
  take   taken

The past participles of irregular English verbs are formed in an unpredictable manner, and must be memorized.

Except for the irregularity of the past participle, the formation of the Present Perfect tense is the same for an irregular verb as for a regular verb. In both cases, the Simple Present of the auxiliary to have is followed by the past participle of the verb.

For instance, the irregular verb to take has the past participle taken. Thus, the Present Perfect of the irregular verb to take is conjugated as follows:

 I have taken
 you have taken
 he has taken
 she has taken
 it has taken
 we have taken
 they have taken


  6. Questions and negative statements


As is the case with other English tenses, questions and negative statements in the Present Perfect are formed using the auxiliary. In the case of the Present Perfect, the auxiliary is have or has.

a. Questions
In order to form a question, the auxiliary is placed before the subject of the verb. For example:

Affirmative Statement Question
  I have worked.   Have I worked?
  You have worked.   Have you worked?
  He has worked.   Has he worked?
  She has worked.   Has she worked?
  It has worked.   Has it worked?
  We have worked.   Have we worked?
  They have worked.   Have they worked?

b. Negative statements
In order to form a negative statement, the word not is placed after the auxiliary. For example:

Affirmative Statement Negative Statement
  I have worked.   I have not worked.
  You have worked.   You have not worked.
  He has worked.   He has not worked.
  She has worked.   She has not worked.
  It has worked.   It has not worked.
  We have worked.   We have not worked.
  They have worked.   They have not worked.

The following contractions are often used in spoken English:

Without Contractions With Contractions
  have not   haven't
  has not   hasn't

c. Negative questions
In order to form a negative question, the auxiliary is placed before the subject, and the word not is placed after the subject. However, when contractions are used, the contracted form of not follows immediately after the auxiliary. For example:

Without Contractions With Contractions
  Have I not worked?   Haven't I worked?
  Have you not worked?   Haven't you worked?
  Has he not worked?   Hasn't he worked?
  Has she not worked?   Hasn't she worked?
  Has it not worked?   Hasn't it worked?
  Have we not worked?   Haven't we worked?
  Have they not worked?   Haven't they worked?

FORM Present Perfect

[HAS / HAVE] + [past participle]

EXAMPLES:
I have seen that movie many times.

I have never seen that movie.


NOTE: When you are using a verb tense with more than one part such as Present Perfect (have seen), adverbs usually come between the first part and the second part (have never seen).



USE 1 Unspecified Time Before Now    

We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with time expressions such as "yesterday," "one year ago," "last week," "when I was a chlid," "when I lived in Japan," "at that moment," "that day" or "one day." We CAN use the Present Perfect with expressions like "ever," "never," "once," "many times," "several times," "before," "so far," "already" and "yet."

EXAMPLES:


I have seen that movie twenty times.

I think I have met him once before.

There have been many earthquakes in California.

Has there ever been a war in the United States?
Yes, there has been a war in the United States.

People have traveled to the moon.



IMPORTANT How do you actually use the Present Perfect?

The concept of "unspecified time" can be very confusing to English learners. It is best to associate Present Perfect with the following topics:


TOPIC 1 Experience

You can use the Present Perfect to describe your experience. It is like saying, "I have the experience of..." You can also use this tense to say that you have never had a certain experience. The Present Perfect is NOT used to describe a specific event.

EXAMPLES:

I have been to France.
(This sentence means that you have the experience of being to France. Maybe you have been once, or several times.)

I have been to France three times.
(You can add the number of times at the end of the sentence.)

I have never been to France.
(This sentence means that you have not had the experience of going to France.)

I think I have seen that movie before.

He has never traveled by train.

Joan has studied two foreign languages.

Have you ever met him?
No, I have not met him.



TOPIC 2 Change Over Time

We often use the Present Perfect to talk about change that has happened over a period of time.

EXAMPLES:

You have grown since the last time I saw you.

The government has become more interested in arts education.

Japanese has become one of the most popular courses at the university since the Asian studies program was established.

My English has really improved since I moved to Australia.


TOPIC 3 Accomplishments

We often use the Present Perfect to list the accomplishments of individuals and humanity. You cannot mention a specific time.

EXAMPLES:

Man has walked on the moon.

Our son has learned how to read.

Doctors have cured many deadly diseases.

Scientists have split the atom.


TOPIC 4 An Uncompleted Action You Are Expecting

We often use the Present Perfect to say that an action which we expected has not happened. Using the Present Perfect suggests that we are still waiting for the action.

EXAMPLES:

James has not finished his homework yet.

Susan hasn't mastered Japanese, but she can communicate.

Bill has still not arrived.

The rain hasn't stopped.


TOPIC 5 Multiple Actions at Different Times

We also use the Present Perfect to talk about several different actions which occured in the past at different times. Present Perfect suggests the process is not complete and more actions are possible.

EXAMPLES:

The army has attacked that city five times.

I have had four quizes and five tests so far this semester.

We have had many major problems while working on this project.

She has talked to several specialists about her problem, but nobody knows why she is sick.



IMPORTANT

When we use the Present Perfect it means that something happened at some point in our lives before now. Remember, the exact time the action happened is not important.



Sometimes we want to limit the time we are looking in for an experience. Expressions such as "in the last week," "in the last year," "this week," "this month," "so far" and "up to now" can be used to narrow the time we are looking in for an experience.



EXAMPLES:

Have you been to Mexico in the last year.

I have seen that movie six times in the last month.

They have had three tests in the last week.

She graduated from university less than three years ago. She has worked for three different companies so far.

This week my car has broken down three times.


NOTICE
"Last year" and "in the last year" are very different in meaning. "Last year" means the year before now. "In the last year" means from 365 days ago until now.

EXAMPLES:

I went to Mexico last year.
(I went to Mexico in 1998.)

I have been to Mexico in the last year.
(I have been to Mexico at least once at some point between 365 days ago and now. We do not know exactly when.)

 
 

 


 

USE 2 Duration From Past Until Now (Non-continuous Verbs)





 
With Non-continuous Verbs and some non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the Present Perfect to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. "For five minutes," "for two weeks" and "since Tuesday" are all durations which can be used with the Present Perfect.

EXAMPLES:

I have had a cold for two weeks.

She has been in England for six months.

Mary has loved chocolate since she was a little girl.



ACTIVE / PASSIVE Present Perfect

EXAMPLES:

Many tourists have visited that castle. ACTIVE

That castle has been visited by many tourists. PASSIVE
