then great okay everybody's joining hello welcome back good morning good afternoon good evening good night's depending on where you are in the world my name is Alisha and today we're going to talk about the present perfect tense so I hope you are ready this is a really good grammar point but while we wait for everybody to join us as usual I want to just review a couple things some example sentences from last week and just to answer a few questions that came up from last week as well so to begin first I guess I'll introduce my example sentence yeah my picture from last week last week our topic was prepositions of place prepositions of location so we talked about how to use like at and in and by and we talked about into and out of so I used it as always I try to use it somewhere somebody asked about my Instagram username but this is the same one my Twitter and Instagram are the same I said some good English questions in video comments so I used the preposition in here some good English questions in video comments but many are small questions wah wah so here we use in for the comment section of videos and blog posts and things like that yeah why because it's our comments in this case the questions are kind of like enclosed in the comment area we talked about how we use in for like enclosed things or enclosed spaces so this is another case where we use the preposition in so this is my example sentence from last week yeah so that's one I want to start with great lots more people are joining hello Moyne from India from Colombia Kevin hi let's see from Honduras Nordea hello great on YouTube Shawn hello good morning from Thailand good morning so khun from Thailand as well oh no sorry so Khun I couldn't catch your country they're high on Facebook I see you great son from Japan hello Sunday from Turkey hi you Leonie from Indonesia hello thank you for coming um great ok while we wait a few more minutes there are some really good questions from last week that I want to talk about so from last week Seba 89 said I'm watching this video at my room is that correct no watching this video at my room is not correct you are enclosed you're surrounded in your room you're in your room so we use in my room not at my room so please be careful there ok another really good question from let's see uh Solomon Martinez in the sea or on the beach was the question this is a really good question so like the beach and the ocean are really really hard for people to pick the right preposition with so if you are swimming we say you are in the sea or in the ocean in the water because you are surrounded by the water yet if you're just visiting the beach we say at the beach I'm at the beach today if you're laying and enjoying the sunshine we say laying in the Sun in the Sun and closed by sunlight laying in the Sun on the beach your body is laying on the beach so there are lots of different prepositions that we can use with the beach and with the ocean so thank you for that question okay more people are coming rose Zara from Bolivia I think wow that went by fast okay now Facebook hello from Iraq Ali great Simon from Taiwan good morning Bernard oh yes my hand has

I pronounced that right from last week said I'm watching this video at bus or in bus what is correct yeah we didn't talk about on last week the preposition on because of time we didn't have enough time really but the preposition on is usually used for for transportation so on the bus on the plane on the train so typically please use on for transportation I say typically because for cars we use in so please use in for cars thank you for your question no Devi okay great we have lots of people watching let's see it Petroff from Bolivia Eduardo from Guatemala hi every from Ecuador great Nia

button okay so with that with our review from last week and with your great questions I want to begin today's topic today's topic if you saw I hope is the present perfect tense so we've had a lot of questions about the present perfect tense like when to use present perfect tense how to use it what's the difference between that and the past tense Jacob right next one Alicia it was good so today I want to talk about that some some grammar points and I want to make some example sentences with you guys so as we've been doing lately and as a super helpful I will use a whiteboard to draw some beautiful diagrams again today and we'll talk about the present perfect tense so today I want to talk about two uses of the present perfect tense to maybe general kind of broad uses of the present perfect tense but first I want to talk about how to make the present perfect tense so a very simple sentence we can use to make present perfect tense I think you're gonna see it in a second is this subject right I think you'll see yeah here it is so we use a subject plus has or have plus the past participle form of a verb okay so this part maybe is a little unfamiliar but for an example sentence I have been to Europe for example I have eaten pizza for example so this part of the verb is maybe the difficult part it's hard to study this this part of the verb is kind of verb because there's no real clear rule for this section but this is the basic form of the present perfect tense a positive sentence so we'll practice this and we'll practice a negative form of this sentence too so to make the negative form we do the same sentence but we add never here so the subject plus has an half plus never before the verb I have never been to Europe I have never eaten pizza so this is the basic form of the sentences we are to practice today okay so let's begin with the first use of the present perfect tense okay so if you've been watching lately you know that I like to draw things lately so I'm going to use a timeline today I've used a timeline a few times in other live streams but I've used the same timeline I think a couple times before so I'm I'm just going to introduce when to use this first type of present perfect tense so here's a simple timeline with past and this star is now future we're not going to worry so much about it today we're going to focus a lot on the past and now these two points today so the first kind of present perfect tense that I want to talk about is for general life experiences so we use present perfect tense to talk about just a general experience we've had in our life so I just said for example I have been to Europe is a good example of that or I've never been to I don't know Africa for example so these are general life experiences however we don't know the point in time when the experience happened we don't know or rather the listener does not know the point in time when the action happened when the experience happened or it's just not important so if you think about it it's an experience it happened in the past sometime before now but when is not important or when is is not the focus of the sentence we just want to express experience of something so if you need a visual this is kind of how you can visualize imagine a grammar point number one so let's try to make a simple general life sentence with the present perfect tense then so this is good for talking about like things you've eaten it's good for talking about travel it's good for talking about work as well so let's uh if you're ready I hope you're ready you're going to need to type something at me now okay so our example sentence here your question will be what is the strangest thing you have eaten and our follow-up question here is in past tense please be careful where did you eat it where did you eat it so what is the strangest thing you have eaten and where did you eat it so we'll use the present perfect tense in the first sentence to answer the strangest thing I've eaten is and past tense here we practiced past tense a few weeks ago yeah do you remember I ate it up and in a preposition from last week yeah look at this we are reviewing so much from our live streams in these two sentences great so what is the strangest thing you have eaten and where did you eat it so like the strangest thing oh the strangest thing I have eaten is pickled pig's feet I ate it in my hometown when I was in high school I remember that it was disgusting I did not like it at all that was the strangest thing I've ever eaten pickled pig's feet that is a true story that is a true story alright so how about you what is the strangest thing you have eaten someone said I've finished my breakfast I hope that's not so strange what is the strangest thing that you have eaten and where did you eat it what happened all right oh good okay there we go there is a pause for a second there Jacob right says the strangest thing I have eaten is candide scorpions I ate it in a Chinese restaurant candide scorpions I can't imagine that but great the strangest thing I have eaten is candide scorpions I ate it in a Chinese restaurant nice Daniel son the strangest thing I've eaten is monkeys meat I ate it in mud on how Brazil monkey meat interesting I can't imagine that okay on Facebook Fernanda says the strangest thing I have eaten is crab I ate it in the north of Brazil oh was it like a strange kind of crab I wonder okay um let's see games and song says I've eaten a frog in a restaurant near my house it was delicious I've heard frog is delicious I've heard frog is similar to chicken see I used present perfect tense there I've heard I have heard that frog is delicious good Nancy says I have eaten snails I I ate it in Ensenada California oh really Ensenada nice Yolanda on YouTube says the strangest thing I have eaten is eagle I ate it in a restaurant whoa in which country I have never heard of someone eating eagle before that sounds really interesting very cool Eduardo on YouTube says I've eaten lots I've eaten frog legs in a Chinese restaurant whoa okay um what else Marco is that true on YouTube is that true where did you eat that oh my gosh oh my gosh Julio says the strangest thing I've eaten is tacos with salt is that strange is it strange I don't know Jennifer says the strangest thing I have eaten is cat I ate it in Iike Peru Peru's I wonder how was that one on YouTube says the strangest thing I've eaten is crickets I ate it in Wausau got Mexico whoa post guy this changes thing I've eaten is braack braack broccoli how do you say that Broglie I ate it in Africa what is that someone on YouTube says the strangest thing I've eaten is dolphin meat I ate it at my grandpa's house whoa dolphin meat whoa garrison on Facebook the strangest thing I have eaten is burritos I ate it in a restaurant a burrito strange I love burritos what a breed is strange I don't know all right Everton on YouTube says I have eaten cockroach of the sea what is a cockroach of the sea I don't know I don't know okay so lots of strange things out there I have never heard of some of these strange things but good so we use present perfect tense the strangest thing I have eaten is something something something here's our present perfect tense today so I have never eaten most of those foods you guys just explained but okay very nice sentences good work so let's continue on maybe to our our second grammar point for today so I said I want to talk about two grammar points with present perfect tense so the first one we just practiced we use for just a life experience a general life experience the general life experience we don't know or it's not important when the experience happen necessarily however the second experience or I'm sorry the second grammar point I want to talk about today is a slightly different use of the present perfect tense okay so I have made a new line in a different color so the second point the second way to use present perfect tense that I want to talk about today is this it looks like this so it's an action which started in the past and continues to the present or the effect of that action starts in the past and continues to the present so for example I have studied English for six months or we've worked together since 2012 or he has lived there for many years so these are actions they started in the past but they continue to the present or the effect of that action continues to the present so there are two grammar points we're talking about today the second one is akin an action which has an effect in the present or which is continuing to the present so we can use the second grammar point it's good for talking about your studies for talking about where you live we're talking about where you work we can use it to talk about the weather - like for example it has started raining we can use that for weather changes but I want to use it for you to talk about where you work or maybe where you study and how long you do that so our second example sentence for today is coming in just a minute the question is what do you do so first this is a simple what do you do what is your job in other words so I'm a teacher I'm an engineer I'm doctor I'm a student here so what's your job what do you do here is our present perfect tense sentence though how long have you done that job or how long have you been a student so I've been a teacher for or since here's an extra challenge for you today for three years so if you would like to use for please follow it with a period of time for three years for two months for six days if you would like to use since please use a specific point in time since 2012 since yesterday and so on so what do you do and how long have you done that job I'm a student I've been a student for 22 years maybe I don't know or I'm an engineer I've been an engineer since 2010 so okay great Jacob write his first one in on YouTube I'm a camp counselor I've been a camp counselor since the summer of 2016 perfect nicely done edit let's see Edwin on Facebook I'm a student I've been a student since 2014 perfect very nice what else I've studied English since I was a

sociology teacher maybe I've been associate sociology maybe you study sociology I'm a sociologist be careful Saima on YouTube I'm a civil engineer I've been a civil engineer since 2014 great Alena I'm

I've been maybe accounting student I'm not sure I'm make sure this this part and this part should match yeah same thing here same title should match I'm an accounting student I've been an accounting student for a million years okay great see Leo said I'm a historian I the chat went by quick um some that's okay that's okay let's see on Facebook I'm Melana says I'm maybe I'm in finance you can use in here before an industry I'm in industry I'm in finance I've been in finance for two years so it's okay to use an industry here instead of your job title very nice Daniel on YouTube I'm a lifeguard

present perfect tense we talked about the first one in blue here how to use present perfect tense for a general life experience and second to talk about an action which started in the past and then continues to the present or the effects of that action continue to the present yeah I want to make a point we practiced in our second example sentence today though for a kind of natural flow with this grammar point you might introduce a question in the present perfect tense like what's the strangest thing you've eaten for example and then follow up questions more specific questions are in the past tense in the past tense on the other hand we can use a present perfect tense to introduce a question about something you've never done and then ask a follow-up question relating to your future plans too so I want to try that so for example let's look at our next question here kind of a little bit different a different challenge here kind of a future tense exercise what's something you have never done you have never done but want to do and a follow-up question yeah when might you do it when might you do it what is something you have never done so that means here no life experience that means no life experience here something you've never done but you want to do so what is something you've never done but you want to do so for example I've never been to France but I want to go and then I might go in 2018 I might go in 2018 so I've never been to France but I want to go I might go in 2018 or maybe I've never eaten candied scorpions but I might try them in the future I don't know so what is something you have never done but you want to do and when might you do it okay so let's try this one let's try this one future plans future plans great great our producer is making good jokes all right Junior hello Iago hello thank you for joining let's try this question what's something you have never done but want to do so what do you want to do I've never been skydiving but I want to I might go skydiving in my home country I don't know that wasn't a very good sentence okay Sileo on YouTube says I've never been to Mars but I why I want to I might go in 21 very nice good luck good luck getting to Mars let me know let me know if you can get there great Jorge says I've never been I've never gone or I've never been remember we need to use the past participle form of the verb I've never been to the USA but I careful but I might go in for years so be careful there these two sentences should connect viago says I've never been abroad but I want to great win when I might go in win one okay sick guy nice hey welcome back this week on Facebook I've never been to the USA but I want to I might go in 2020 perfect Sandra on Facebook I have never been be careful not past tense not past tense I have never been been for travel I've never been or have never gone I've never gone or I've never been to Australia but I want to I might go oh I might go in next Monday next Monday sounds like you have a plan yeah next Monday is very very soon so I might go next year for example it should be kind of far in the future great more on YouTube I've never been to India but I want to go I might travel next year next year so we talked last no two weeks ago if you use this ayah or next year for example no preposition is needed here yeah so I might go in 2018 or I might go in a few months but if you use this year next year we do not need a preposition here okay I've never seen a more borealis but I want to I might see it in 2018 in Canada a nice one Jennifer that's a great idea I - I
