The Present Perfect Tense: 

Form have/has + past participle (V-ed/V3) Examples: (e.g) Affirmative sentences: I have play ed football. I 've play ed football. He has play ed football. He ’s play ed football. You have play ed football. You 've play ed football. Negative sentences: I have not play ed football. I 've not play ed football. I haven't play ed football. He has not play ed football. He ’s not play ed football. He hasn’t play ed football. You have not play ed football. You 've not play ed football. You haven't play ed football. Questions: Have I play ed football? Has h e play ed football? Have you play ed football? The Present Perfect Tense http://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/grammar/pres_perf.htm TRUNG TÂM GIA SƯ HOA THỌ www.hoatho.notlong.com Verb is composed of two elements : the appropriate form of the auxiliary verb to have (present tense), plus the past participle of the main verb.

Signal words just, (not) yet, already, ever, never, so far, up to now, recently/lately, since, for: 

Use: Present Perfect - Diagram 1) We use the Present Perfect for actions in the past which have a connection to the present. The time when these actions happened is not important. Have you ever cleaned your room? (before now) I have never cleaned my room. 2) We use the Present Perfect for recently completed actions. He has just played handball. 3) We use the Present Perfect for actions beginning in the past and still continuing. Has he arrived yet ? He has n’t arrived yet . We have lived in Canada since 1986. Signal words just, (not) yet, already, ever, never, so far, up to now, recently/lately, since, for He has lived in this town for ten years. (a period of time) its duration (a point in time) its starting point Position: already can be placed before the main verb (past participle) or at the end of the sentence: a. I have already been to Tokyo. b . I have been to Tokyo already . (and you're offering me another one!) (Never is the same as not ……ever.) yet is used in negative statements and questions, to mean (not) in the period of time between before now and now, (not) up to and including the present. e.g. Position: Yet is usually placed at the end of the sentence.

Present Perfect - Spelling You have to know all forms of the irregular verbs very well. For the Present Perfect you need the form of the verb which can be found in the 3rd column of the table of the irregular verbs: go - went - gone Add - ed with regular verbs. regular verbs infinitive + - ed Sometimes there are exceptions in spelling when adding -ed. 1) consonant after a short, stressed vowel at the end of the word Double the consonant. stop – sto pped swap - swa pped We do not double the consonant if it is not stressed: benefit - benefit ed (Here we stress the first 'e', not the 'i'.) In Britsh English we double one -l at the end of the word: travel - trave lled 2) one -e at the end of the word Leave out the -e. Add -d. lov e – lov ed sav e – sav ed 3) verbs ending in -y verbs ending in 'y' preceded by a vowel (a, e, i, o, u): Add -ed. pla y - play ed Change 'y' to 'i' after a consonant. Then add -ed. worr y - worr ied irregular verbs 3rd column of the table of the irregular verbs

Comparisons of Adjectives: 

Comparisons of Adjectives AS + ADJECTIVE + AS (Positive degree - sự ngang bằng nhau) To compare people, places, events or things, when there is no difference, use as + adjective + as : Peter is 24 years old. John is 24 years old. Peter is as old as John. More examples: Moscow is as cold as St. Petersburg in the winter. They have as many children as us. Einstein is as famous as Darwin. He's had as much success as his brother has. NOT AS + ADJECTIVE + AS Difference can also be shown by using not so/as ...as : Mont Blanc is not as high as Mount Everest Norway is not as sunny as Thailand A bicycle is not as expensive as a car Arthur is not as intelligent as Albert COMPARISONS OF QUANTITY To show difference: more, less, fewer + than Examples: With countable nouns: more / fewer Eloise has more children than Chantal. Chantal has fewer children than Eloise. I have visited fewer countries than my friend has. With uncountable nouns: more / less Eloise has more money than Chantal. Chantal has less money than Eloise. I spend less time on homework than you do. This new dictionary gives more information than the old one. So, the rule is: MORE + nouns that are countable or uncountable FEWER + countable nouns LESS + uncountable nouns Negative: …… not the same …… as …… (chỉ sự đồng nhất) Diễn đạt sự đồng nhất. TOO + adj/adv + (for sb) + TO inf. (quá …không thể) 1)Nguyên tắc thứ nhất : Nếu trước tính từ, trạng từ có : too, so, very, quite, highly, extremely... thì phải bỏ. 2) Nguyên tắc thứ hai: Nếu chủ từ hai câu giống nhau thì bỏ phần for sb 3) Nguyên tắc thứ ba: Nếu chủ từ câu đầu và túc từ câu sau là một thì phải bỏ túc từ câu sau He is so weak .He can't run. -> He is too weak to run. The coffee was very hot .I could drink it. -> The coffee was too hot for me to drink. ( Bỏ it vì it cũng đồng nghĩa với coffee ) -> This bag is too heavy for me to carry . (chỉ sự giống nhau) He is the same man as I met yesterday. Ông ta đúng là người tôi đã gặp hôm qua.
