UNIDAD 4. PRESENT PERFECT
El Present Perfect es un tiempo verbal muy importante en el nivel B1.
Se forma con:
HAVE / HAS + PARTICIPIO PASADO
Ejemplos:

She has finished her homework.
Ella ha terminado sus deberes.
They have seen that film.

1. ¿QUÉ ES EL PARTICIPIO PASADO?
Para formar el Present Perfect necesitamos conocer el participio pasado del verbo. Tenemos dos
tipos de verbos:
• VERBOS REGULARES: Normalmente terminan en -ED.
Infinitivo Past Simple Participio
work worked worked
play played played
visit visited visited
watch watched watched
study studied studied
En los verbos regulares: PAST SIMPLE = PARTICIPIO
Por ejemplo: work → worked → worked
• VERBOS IRREGULARES: Tenemos que aprender su participio.
Infinitivo Past Simple Participio
go went gone
see saw seen
eat ate eaten
write wrote written
do did done
Por eso es muy importante aprender los verbos irregulares con sus tres formas.
