2013年7月8日 · Anything so it no longer sounds like their trip to this country is the topic of your sentence. But you can use the word "always" in reference to an action that's in the present perfect tense. Off the top of my head, here are some examples: I enter every year, but so far have always come in last place. I have always tried to be careful of your ...
2014年4月13日 · In 1971 James McCawley 1 described three fundamental uses of the English present perfect (the same uses are also present in past and future perfect constructions). With minor modifications, and under a variety of names, those three uses are to this day the standard framework for discussing the meaning of the perfect.
2019年10月28日 · 8. As FumbleFingers and 1006a mention in the comments, there's nothing grammatically wrong with using the present perfect with "when". However, it imbues the question with nuance, since it often implies that there has never been such an occurrence (though you would expect there should have been.) When have you written to your brother?
2015年12月11日 · 6. You can use the present perfect with current periods of time such as today and this week, providing there may be more opportunities to do the same action. Examples: (Game is in progress): I've caught five passes today (so far or up to now). (You may have more chances to catch a pass.)
2015年4月11日 · 1. Generally speaking, you can use the adverb "recently" in both the past simple and the present perfect, without any difference in meaning. The use of this adverb in the past is more common in AE while in the present perfect is more common in BE. However, if you look at these minutely, there is sure some difference.
2014年3月24日 · "I composed music over the last twelve years, but almost quit for many reasons" You are right about past simple sounding awkward here. "over the last 12 years" means the 12 years up to now, which means present perfect or past continuous (was composing) can sound more natural (past simple in the first part is okay, but would perhaps be better with "for the last 12 years").
2017年10月7日 · We use present perfect to talk about past events that relate to the present, or our experience up to the present, and the simple past to talk about events entirely in the past. Because the question includes today, and today is not yet over, the appropriate question is whether as of right now you have seen her today.
5. Yes, it is possible to use "ever since" with the present perfect. "Ever since" links two events, a cause event and something that is true from that point in time onward. This is actually ideal for the present perfect tense because one of the uses of the present perfect tense is to indicate that something which began in the past is still ...
2015年4月1日 · 5. The present perfect is a present tense, describing a present state, and you should think of the "rule" with the present perfect as a requirement that the timepoint or timeframe involved must include the present. After T is generally used to locate an event (with a stative verb like be it locates the beginning of a state) at a timepoint ...
2015年3月4日 · Why do we use the present perfect with This is the first time, but the present simple/continuous with This is the last time, i.e. This is the first time I have done it. vs. This is the last time I do/am doing it. In both sentences, I see a connection from past to present
