Unit 15 Present perfect • The present perfect is formed with: have eve)! has ('s) + past participle I have worked as a waiter. I've seen an interesting job advert. The manager has sent me an application form. • Be careful with the past participle forms of irregular verbs! See the table on page 151. • We use the present perfect - for something that started in the past but is still true: I've broken my arm. (= it's still broken)
)
D
- for something that happened recently (but we don't know when): Alan's left for work.
.
• The words for and since show how long something has been true: I've worked here for four months. I've worked here since August. • The word just shows that something happened only a short time ago: The bus has just gone. 15
