Many of you know that the present perfect is one of my favorite verb tenses, especially because it poses a challenge for Brazilians learners of English. So let's practice it right now. Send in a sentence using the present perfect!

I've learned how and when to use the present perfect, but it always confuses me.

Por: Ash em 06/01/2010 às 12:00h

Well, it's a confusing verb tense for everyone, Genilton. Even for native speakers of English!

Present Perfect always reminds me "Have you ever seen the rain?" of Creedence Clearwater Revival

Por: Josh em 19/01/2010 às 07:35h

When something "te lembra de" something else, don't forget to use the preposition "of": "The present perfect always reminds me of 'Have you ever seen the rain' by CCR. Perfect song for the present perfect!

Thanks Josh!

Por: Pati em 24/01/2010 às 22:12h

Wow ! This is the coolest restaurant I´ve ever been. Look at a wonderful decoration. I imagine that the food will be the coolest too !!!

Por: Josh em 25/01/2010 às 12:12h

Great job, Pati! Just a couple of things: "This is the coolest restaurant I've ever been to. Look at the wonderful decorations (OR: Look how wonderfully it has been decorated.). The rest is great. What restaurant is this? I'd like to try the food there, too!

I´ve been to France some times. In this year, on June, I´ll be going to the US, to Grand Rapids, MI.

Have you ever eaten some food as bad as the Fois Gras?

We haven´t drink our glasses orange juice yet! Wait a minute, please!

Por: Josh em 19/02/2010 às 12:31h

Your first sentence is almost perfect. Instead of "some times", which means "de vez em quando", you meant to say "algumas vezes" which is "a few times". In the second part, you do not need the preposition "in" before "this year" - just "This year, in June, I'll..." Your question is almost perfect, too! "Have you ever eaten any (se usa "any" para perguntas e negativas) food as bad a ~~the~~ fois gras?" Your last sentence needs a little work; let's see: "We haven't drunk our glasses of orange juice yet! These were complicated sentences and you got their structures almost perfectly. Good job!

I've already finished my English lesson.

Por: Josh em 22/02/2010 às 13:41h

Wonderful!

She has already learned French.
I still haven't found what i'm looking for.
Have you ever gone to Europe?

Por: Tamara em 23/02/2010 às 15:24h

Sandro- Careful of copyright infringement laws! Lol... Joking aside, very nice job! Just remember to always write "I" with a capital letter. Abs.

Por: #fernando# em 23/02/2010 às 12:54h

She has never begun after me.

Has she begun before you?

Por: Tamara em 23/02/2010 às 15:02h

Good job, Fernando! Just curious...Begun doing what? Abs.

Por: ARivera em 24/02/2010 às 17:02h

I've never seen the snow! I really want to see it someday!

Por: monicabic em 24/02/2010 às 17:05h

It's really a fantastic experience, ARivera!

Por: jvieiramartins em 03/03/2010 às 16:23h

I have studied English on meuingles.com.

Has he driven with his arm broken?

You haven't forbidden the access to this place.

Por: Josh em 04/03/2010 às 11:44h

Good job, Jvieramartins! Just one thing needs changing: in your last sentence you cannot use the "the" before access. In this case "access" is an uncountable noun and does not carry an article like "the". The rest is boss!
