About tenses II

Okay, this is my second posts. And i will continue about tenses..

Now, i will explain about present perfect tense? and present perfect continuous tense.

3. Present perfect tense (S-has/have-V3-O)

~For subject : I, you, we, they we use have

~For subject : He, she, it we use has

* to talk about something that we have done but will affect till now

e.g : I have eaten just now(+)

(because i`ve already eat, now i`m full.)

I have not eaten just now (-) => add “not” behind the sentence

Have you eaten just now?

* to talk about something that we have done but we don`t care when that events happen.

e.g : He has gone to Bali (+)

(He has gone to Bali but we don`t care when he go. Anyway, he has been to Bali.)

He has not gone to Bali (-)

Has he gone to Bali?

* to talk about activities that we do from before but will continue till now ( look the results)

e.g : She has written 3 novels. (+)

(She has written 3 novels so far, but maybe she will write more again later/continue)

She has not written 3 novels. (-)

Has she written 3 novels?

ATTENTION : Change all verb to v3 in this tense! Don`t forget!

4. Present Perfect continuous tense (S-has/have-been-v-ing)

~For subject : I, you, we, they we use have

~For subject : He, she, it we use has

*to talk about something that we do from before and will continue till now

e.g : She has been working in this company for 7 years (+)

(she has worked in this company for 7 years, now she still worked in this company)

She has not been working in this company for 7 years (-)

Has she been working in this company for 7 years?

Don`t forget to follow the pattern ia..
