Hi, my name is Ronnie today
By special request I'm to teach you some grammar
Yeah, yeah um a lot of people um
Comment "thank you", and ask me Ronnie, what's
Present perfect, what's past
Perfect what's Pp? Wha, where am I? How did I get here? So I'm here to help you
Teach you this so you can learn it forever. It's very easy once you get it first of all so
present perfect
[Vs.] past perfect
all of
The tenses in English when you have something that's perfect it means you have to use the past participle
of the verb now as
An English teacher I don't like having to write
past participle
because it takes it a long time and it's hard to say really quickly, so
Most people shorten it to [Pp]. Not I have to pee pee different okay, so when I write on the board
[Pp]. It means the past participle
the past participle it's hard to say, of the verb is the third part of the verb so for example if
you have the verb
have
What is the past participle of have?
No, no, no no had oh yeah
Good so had is the past participle of have
perfect, so
Let's start off
present perfect we use for
Events in the past I know it's confusing because it says right here present perfect, but both of these
grammars
Grammars both of these tenses we use to talk [about] a past event so present perfect is
have
or has
plus the past participle
if it is I, they, you, and we. We have if it is he, she, or it
you have to use has
This is the number one mistake that
Students make when they're writing or speaking a lot of people say
She have which is wrong you have to be careful. You can remember he ,she, it. He, she, it, he shit
is has
okay, I, they, you ,and we is have plus the past participle
So I've asked you. What is the past tense of have?
answer, had
so if you know that the present tense
is have plus p p
You're Gonna go oh, oh. Yeah, okay. Hold on
the past tense of
have
Is had so when we use past perfect?
we're all we're changing is this verb to had
It's that easy
so
the other very easy thing about past perfect is
We don't have to change it for he, she, or it. yay
There's nothing to really remember about the past perfect except for it's had so I
He, she, it, they, we, and you . We all use had
fun times um
when we use the negative
It's the same idea except we're using hadn't so I, he, she, it, they, we, you
hadn't it's
unusual to say had not
If you want to use had not it's um to more emphasize things like I had not done that
but we usually say hadn't
Okay, and again
Because it is perfect you have to use the past participle or the PP of the verb
Is this easy now? so present perfect have plus the past participle
past perfect had plus the past participle
good let's go into the negative of
present perfect
when we use I, they, you, and we. We have to use haven't
just like in the present or in the positive and
again he, she, and it we have to use hasn't plus the past participle if
you want to make a question in the present perfect you're going to say have or
has
Then you're going to use the subject so in this case these are the subjects has he
plus the past participle has he
Eaten is a present perfect sentence
You can change he to a person's name. I can say has Kevin
eaten because Kevin is a he I have to use has. So remember that as well as
important
when we use past perfect
Like I said, it's the same idea we don't have to change
This reflecting on the subject. The question form we don't have to try and change either so it's had
Plus your subject
plus your past participle, and you must
Have a question mark if you do not have a question mark at the end of the sentence
It's just wrong and your teacher goes wrong
and you don't understand why because you remember has and have but
Don't forget the question mark alright
so I hope that you can remember how to use or how to sorry how to make present perfect and
Past perfect if you have any questions, or comments about this please
