Dear Jenny,
We’ve been in Hue for three days. What an amazing city! The weather has been wonderful, and we’ve been to a lot of tourist attractions. I’ve visited the Tomb of Khai Dinh and I’ve even gone boating on the Perfume River. I’ve bought a souvenir. Have you missed me?
Love,
Ella
P.S. I had a text from Dylan. He’s passed his driving test!
LEARN THIS! Present perfectWe use the present perfect: a. to give news, when we do not say exactly when the event happened. Guess what? I’ve won a competition! b. to talk about events during a period of time (e.g. a holiday) that is still continuing. I'm in Paris. I've visited a museum but I haven't seen the Eiffel Tower. c. to ask how long a situation has existed. How long have you been in Spain? d. with for or since to say how long a situation has existed. We use for with a period of time and since to say when it started. We've been in Spain for a week / since Tuesday. |

6. Find examples of the present perfect and the past simple in the dialogue in exercise 5.
LEARN THIS! Past simple and present perfect contrasta. We use the present perfect to talk about an experience at any time in the past. I've read “The Hobbit” three times. Have you ever traveled by helicopter? b. We use the past simple to talk about a specific occasion. I watched a good film on TV last night. Did you go to Newcastle last weekend? c. We often use the present perfect to ask and answer questions about an experience, and then use the past simple to give specific information about it. "Have you ever been to the USA?" "Yes. I have. I went to New York last winter.” |
