 Have you ever … ?
We use the PRESENT PERFECT to talk about
our EXPERIENCE without saying when.

Ex: John has played with a dolphin.

What about you?

Have you ever played with a dolphin?

Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t.

Teacher Andressa Cardoso

To form the PRESENT PERFECT use the
auxiliary HAVE and the past participle of the main
verb.
If the main verb is a regular verb, the past
participle is formed by adding –ed.

If the main verb is an irregular verb, you have to

learn its past participle!! (3rd column)
Regular verb (ex: play) Irregular verb (ex: see)
I have played I have seen
You have played You have seen
He / She has played He / She has seen
We have played We have seen
You have played You have seen
They have played They have seen
