A

Study the example conversation:

DAVE: Have youtravelled a lot, Jane? JANE: Yes, I've been to lots of places. DAVE: Really? Have you ever been to China? JANE: Yes, I've been to China twice. DAVE: What about India? JANE: No, I haven't been to India. When we talk about a period of time that continues from the past until now, we use the present perfect (have been / have travelledetc.). Here, Dave and Jane are talking about the places Jane has visited in her life (which is a period that continues until now).  

· Have you ever eaten caviar? (in your life)

· We've never had a car.

· ' Have you read Hamlet?' 'No, I haven't read any of Shakespeare's plays.'

· Susan really loves that film. She's seen it eight times!

· What a boring film! It's the most boring film I've ever seen.

In the following examples too the speakers are talking about a period that continues until now (recently / in the last few days / so far / since breakfast etc. ):

· Have you heard from George recently?

· I've met a lot of people in the last few days.

· Everything is going well. We haven't had any problems so far.

· I'm hungry. I haven't eaten anything since breakfast. (= from breakfast until now)

· It's nice to see you again. We haven't seen each other for a long time.

B

We use the present perfect with today / this morning / this evening etc. when these periods are not finished at the time of speaking (see also Unit 14B):

· I've drunk four cups of coffee today. (perhaps I'll drink more before today is finished)

· Have you had a holiday this year (yet)?

· I haven't seen Tom this morning. Have you?

· Ron hasn't worked very hard this term.

C

Note that we say 'It's the first time something has happened' (present perfect). For example: Don is having a driving lesson. He is very nervous and unsure because it is his first lesson.

· It's the first time he has driven a car. {not 'drives') or He has never driven a car before.

· Linda has lost her passport again. It's the second time this has happened, (not 'happens')

· This is a lovely meal. It's the first good meal I've had for ages, {not 'I have')

· Bill is phoning his girlfriend again. That's the third time he's phoned her this evening.
