1. Time Expressions with Present Perfect
When we use the Present Perfect it means that something has happened
at some point in our lives before now. Remember, the exact time the
action happened is not important.
Sometimes, we want to limit the time when we are looking for an
experience. We can do this with expressions such as: in the last week, in
the last year, this week, this month, so far, etc.
