The document discusses the differences between using "will" and "be going to" to express future tense in English. It provides examples of how each is used:

1. Present Perfect Tense
[Subject + has/have + past participle]
Examples:
You have seen that movie many times.
Have you seen that movie many times?
You have not seen that movie many times.
Complete List of Present Perfect Forms
USE 1 Unspecified Time Before Now
We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified
time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present
Perfect with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week,
when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We
CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once,
many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
Examples:
I have seen that movie twenty times.
I think I have met him once before.
There have been many earthquakes in California.
People have traveled to the Moon.
People have not traveled to Mars.
Have you read the book yet?
Nobody has ever climbed that mountain.
A: Has there ever been a war in the United States?
B: Yes, there has been a war in the United States.
How Do You Actually Use the Present Perfect?
Expressing experience
You can use the Present Perfect to describe your experience. It is like saying, "I
have the experience of..." You can also use this tense to say that you have never had a
certain experience.
Examples:
I have been to France.
This sentence means that you have had the experience of being in France. Maybe you
have been there once, or several times.
2. I have been to France three times.
You can add the number of times at the end of the sentence.
I have never been to France.
This sentence means that you have not had the experience of going to France.
I think I have seen that movie before.
He has never traveled by train.
Joan has studied two foreign languages.
A: Have you ever met him?
B: No, I have not met him.
Expressing change Over Time
We often use the Present Perfect to talk about change that has happened over a
period of time.
Examples:
You have grown since the last time I saw you.
The government has become more interested in arts education.
Japanese has become one of the most popular courses at the university since the
Asian studies program was established.
My English has really improved since I moved to Australia.
Expressing accomplishments
We often use the Present Perfect to list the accomplishments of individuals and
humanity. You cannot mention a specific time.
Examples:
Man has walked on the Moon.
Our son has learned how to read.
Doctors have cured many deadly diseases.
Scientists have split the atom.
‘Thomas is an author. He writes mystery novels and travel memoirs. He has been
writing since he was twenty-eight. Altogether, he has written seven novels, three
collections of short stories and a book of poetry’.
Expressing An Uncompleted Action You Are Expecting
We often use the Present Perfect to say that an action which we expected has not
happened. Using the Present Perfect suggests that we are still waiting for the action to
happen.
Examples:
James has not finished his homework yet.
Susan hasn't mastered Japanese, but she can communicate.
Bill has still not arrived.
The rain hasn't stopped.
3. Duration From the Past Until Now
Examples:
I have had a cold for two weeks.
She has been in England for six months.
Mary has loved chocolate since she was a little girl.
I have had this same pair of shoes for three years.
I have liked cowboy movies since I was a child.
The examples above show that something started in the past and has continued up until
now. It is only for Non-Continuous Verbs. Notice the difference between since and for.
Since + a particular time (used to answer the question ‘when’)
For + a duration of time (used to answer the question ‘how long’)
ADVERB PLACEMENT
The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only,
never, ever, still, just, etc.
Examples:
You have only seen that movie one time.
Have you only seen that movie one time?

(Subject + has/have + been + present participle)
Examples:
You have been waiting here for two hours.
Have you been waiting here for two hours?
You have not been waiting here for two hours.
Complete List of Present Perfect Continuous Forms
USE 1Duration from the Past until Now
We use the Present Perfect Continuous to show that something started in
the past and has continued up until now. "For five minutes," "for two weeks,"
and "since Tuesday" are all durations that can be used with the Present Perfect
Continuous.
Examples:
They have been talking for the last hour.
She has been working at that company for three years.
What have you been doing for the last 30 minutes?
James has been teaching at the university since June.
We have been waiting here for over two hours!
Why has Nancy not been taking her medicine for the last three days?
USE 2 Recently, Lately
You can also use the Present Perfect Continuous WITHOUT a duration such
as "for two weeks." Without the duration, the tense has a more general meaning
of "lately." We often use the words "lately" or "recently" to emphasize this
meaning.
Examples:
Recently, I have been feeling really tired.
6. She has been watching too much television lately.
Have you been exercising lately?
Mary has been feeling a little depressed.
Lisa has not been practicing her English.
What have you been doing?
REMEMBER Non-Continuous Verbs
It is important to remember that Non-Continuous Verbs cannot be used in
any continuous tenses. Instead of using Present Perfect Continuous with these
verbs, you must use Present Perfect.
Examples:
Sam has been having his car for two years. Not Correct
Sam has had his car for two years. Correct
ADVERB PLACEMENT
The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as always,
only, never, ever, still, just, etc.
Examples:
You have only been waiting here for one hour.
Have you only been waiting here for one hour?
Special words: (live, work, teach)
There is no difference in the meaning between Present Perfect Tense and
Present Perfect Continuous Tense when those words are constructed using the
word since and for.
Example:
I have lived here since 1995. / I have been living here since 1995.
He has worked at the same store for ten years. / He has been working at the
same store for ten years.
7. Mr. William has taught in LPAI since 2005. / Mr. William has been teaching in
LPAI since 2005.
