 PAST SIMPLE PRESENT PERFECT
Form: we add “ed” to all regular verbs, Form: has/have + past participle
Irregular verbs must be learnt by heart. We use the present perfect for an action in the past with a result
now or when we talk about a time from the past until now.

We use the Past Simple for something in the past which

• I’ve lost my glasses. (I can’t find them now)
is finished.
• I’ve been to Spain, but I haven’t been to Portugal.

• He played tennis yesterday. We use: hasn’t/haven’t + past participle for negatives:

• The children went to the park this morning.
• John hasn’t seen the film.
We use “did” to make questions and “didn’t” for
negatives. The verb stays in the base form. We use: has/have + subject + past participle for
questions:
• Did you see Bob yesterday? • Have you seen Jane today?
• They didn’t come to the party on Sunday.

1. I ___________ (see) the twins in town last week.

2. _____________________(you/ever/meet) her brother?
