Life experiences: an introduction to the Present Perfect Tense

Hi everybody!



The Unit 3 of our syllabus suggests to talk about our life experiences by using the Present Perfect Tense.  Now, we're going to complete some activities to know more about this tense and to practice it.


We're going to start with the Activity 1 on the English 4 Prepa 1 Grammar section.  Complete all the tasks that you find there and then post a comment in this entry answering the questions:


  • Have you ever had an experience similar to The Flatmates in the episode 18? Tell us more about it.
  • Have you ever heard the Present Perfect Tense in a song?  Is this use related to an experience, to something that continues up to now or to something that occurred in the past but has a present result?
I'll be waiting for your comments!

    Thank you for your songs :)

    Luis Miguel, Édgar Iván (3 A) & Julio César (3 C): your songs are not related to the present perfect tense, in fact they are more useful to explain the future simple tense. Thanks for your suggestions, but we need other examples, so we'll be waiting for them :)
