SÍNTESIS DE PERÍODO

Grammar Rule present perfect

Examples
I have been to Indonesia.
She hasn’t eaten sushi.

Remember!
We can use the present perfect to talk about experiences in our life. We often use ‘never’ for negatives and ‘ever’ in
questions.
My brother has met his favourite singer.
I have never seen an alien!
Have you ever climbed the Eiffel Tower?

Be careful!
If you say when your experience was, we use the past simple. If you ask for extra information about someone’s
experience, we also use the past simple.

or ‘won’t’.
