Perfect Tense Why it’s easy to understand but difficult to use.
How English Grammar Works:
How English Grammar Works:
Perfect tense: Start SS
Past or Past-participle. Past form: The past form tells us that something is finished and doesn’t touch the  “now”  in what we are talking about. Eg it’s dead. For example: I was very sad. I ate a hamburger for breakfast. Past participles: Tell us that something is finished but still affects the  “now”.  Or it can be used about a finished action in order to use this action as an adjective. For example: I have eaten two apples today. The book was written by Ian Banks.
Where is the  “now” ? ,[object Object],[object Object]
Where is the  “now” ? ,[object Object],[object Object]
Where is the  “now” ? ,[object Object]
Example of a common mistake: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Passive voice: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Passive voice:
Active voice:
 
The not so special “special system”: ,[object Object],Back
Irregular verbs: ,[object Object],The only good way to remember these words is to make  fun  sentences with each one in each form. Then make them roll around in the back of your mind when you see a form of the word. For example:  I often beat my friend. Yesterday I beat my friend. I have beaten my friend earlier today. Back
