Presente Perfecto (Present Perfect Tense) El Presente Perfecto en el idioma ingls es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para referirnos

a acciones que suceden en un pasado reciente y que guardan alguna relacin con el presente. Su equivalente en el idioma espaol es el Pretrito Perfecto: I have sent the letter. Yo he enviado la carta. (Indica que la accin acaba de suceder)

Para poder construir la forma afirmativa del Presente Perfecto debemos utilizar como auxiliar el verbo TO HAVE en Presente Simple y acompaado por el verbo principal en su Pasado Participio (ya sean verbos regulares o verbos irregulares):

I have bought a new dress.

Yo he comprado un nuevo vestido.

You have studied the lesson. T has estudiado la leccin. He has broken the window. She has lost the keys. l ha roto la ventana. Ella ha perdido las llaves.

Recuerden que a las 3 personas del singular deben colocar la "S" en elauxiliar ya que se trata del Presente Simple. En cambio, para formar una interrogacin deberemos colocar elauxiliar al comienzo de la oracin, luego el sujeto y posteriormente el verbo principal tambin en Pasado Participio:

Have I bought a new dress?

He comprado un nuevo vestido?

Have you studied the lesson? Has estudiado la leccin? Has he broken the window? Has she lost the keys? Ha roto l la ventana? Ha perdido ella las llaves?

Por su parte, la forma negativa se forma poniendo la negacin NOT entre el auxiliar y el verbo principal, por ejemplo: I have not bought a new dress. Yo no he comprado un nuevo vestido.

You have not studied the lesson. T no has estudiado la leccin. He has not broken the window. She has not lost the keys. l no ha roto la ventana. Ella no ha perdido la llave.

Tambin puede utilizarse la forma contrada de la negacin colocando HAVEN'T o HASN'T segn corresponda. Cabe destacar que cuando hablamos en Presente Perfecto no debemos mencionar el momento en que se ha producido la accin, ya que de hacerlo deberamos utilizar el Pasado Simple, por ejemplo: I have sold my car. Yo he vendido mi auto. (Presente Perfecto)

I sold my car this morning. Yo vend mi auto esta maana. (Pasado Simple)
