Hi everyone!! This is great!! I believe that studying the Present Perfect is a significant milestonein the learning process of a student! So I’m gonna introduce you to the Present Perfect through this video!
The Present Perfect tense connects the past with the present. When using this verb tense, we can be talking about an action or event that occurred in the past but will be referring to how it relates to the present. So when I say: “I’ve lived in the US for 10 years”, it would mean the same as if I have said: “That’s why I know a lot about English.”
We use the present perfect:
1 When describing certain life experiences. To describe actions and events which occurred in the past, which are also of particular importance in the present moment.
2 To describe changes over a period of time. To describe events which occurred gradually and over time in the past, especially when these had a lasting influence on the present.
3 To describe accomplishments and milestones, especially big ones, usually have a lasting influence on the present.
4 To describe actions or events that started in the past and that are still occurring, but which began in the past.
Next is a more informal video. I like this guy because he talks from a perspective of someone who is learning Portuguese. So it’s very nice!
I first published this video about two years ago. It’s awesome! The message is great! And besides, it’s so rich in language! Here you can find a lot of the things we’ve been learning lately!
A new week is starting, so take the time to watch it and notice everything we’ve been talking about here. If you carefully do your homework, I’m sure you’ll benefit a lot from it!
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world. They are part of an international community that organizes TED-style events celebrating locally-driven ideas and elevating them to a global stage.
The talks are really inspiring, full of ideas worth spreading!
