EL PRETÉRITO PERFECTO (Present Perfect) El pretérito perfecto, se forma con el presente del verbo '**to have**' a modo de auxiliar y el participio pasivo del verbo que se conjuga según la siguiente construcción: __to have + participio del verbo a conjugar__

//Tú has jugado// //Él ha jugado// //Nosotros hemos jugado// //Vosotros habéis jugado// //Ellos han jugado// ||
 * **I have played**
 * You have played**
 * He has played**
 * We have played**
 * You have played**
 * They have played** || //Yo he jugado//

La forma interrogativa, se obtiene anteponiendo el auxiliar al sujeto. En la forma negativa se coloca 'not' después del auxiliar: La forma interrogativa-negativa tiene la construcción auxiliar + not + sujeto El ‘present perfect simple’ conecta / une el pasado y el presente de una manera parecida al pretérito perfecto en español. Si decimos que algo ha ocurrido ('has happened'), pensamos del pasado y del presente a la vez como si hiciesemos un puente del pasado al presente.
 * Have you played?** / //¿Has jugado?//
 * He has not played** / //Él no ha jugado//
 * Haven't you played?** / //¿No has jugado?//

 * Hasn’t** Danny **got married** yet? [[image:http://www.mansioningles.com/cursointer/imagenes/flechader.gif width="38" height="12"]] Is he still single?

Usamos el present perfect simple para acciones en el pasado que tienen un significado o relevancia en la actualidad.

 * Have you seen the gorgeous new secretary?** / //¿Has visto a la atractiva nueva secretaria?//

Tiene la siguiente construcción: __sujeto + pretérito perfecto de 'to be' + gerundio__ En la forma negativa se coloca 'not' después del auxiliar: La forma interrogativa, se construye invirtiendo la posición del sujeto y el auxiliar: La forma interrogativa-negativa sigue la misma construcción que en el pretérito perfecto Se usa cuando se quiere expresar el sentido de la continuidad de una acción que ha comenzado en el pasado, que dura todavía en el presente y que incluso puede continuar en el futuro. (y continúo estudiándolo en la actualidad) El ‘present perfect’ es usado frecuentemente con las siguientes expresiones de tiempo:
 * A terrorist __has bombed__ a bus** (acción en el pasado que tiene un significado ahora)

'yet' - normalmente se utiliza en frases interrogativas y va al final de la oración. Se usa cuando esperamos que algo va a pasar en el futuro, no en el pasado ni en el presente.
 * Yet and already **


 * Have you done your homework yet?** / //¿Has terminado ya los deberes?//
 * I don’t think Manoli has done the shopping yet**. / //Creo que Manoli todavía no ha hecho la compra.//

'already' - se usa en frases afirmativas e interrogativas y normalmente va detrás de los verbos auxiliares o modales y delante de los demás verbos. Con 'already' decimos que algo está en el presente o el pasado, no en el futuro.

En Inglés británico yet y already acompaña habitualmente a los tiempos perfectos. En Inglés Americano prefieren usar los tiempos pasados. Compara: Have you phoned your mother yet? (UK) Did you phone your mother yet? (USA) I’ve already phoned her (UK) I already phoned her (USA)
 * Yes, I’ve already finished my homework** / //Sí, ya he terminado mis deberes//

'For' - (how long something has lasted) Se usa para decir cuánto tiempo ha durado una acción. En español suele decirse ‘desde hace’.
 * Since and for **
 * We’ve had this computer for about six months.** / //Tenemos esta computadora desde hace unos seis meses.//

'Since' - (when something started) Se usa como una referencia a un punto de tiempo cuando algo empezó. En español suele decirse ‘desde’ o ‘desde que’.


 * We’ve had this car since January** / //Tenemos este coche desde enero.//
