Section One: Structure ~ Have you ever (Yes/No) ~ Discuss
The present perfect verb examines our lives from the beginning of something (our birth, for example) up to the present moment, thus “Present Perfect”...
The present perfect uses the past participle or “third verb tense” as in: take (present) took (past) taken (past participle)
The simple question form: Have you ever + verb + object The simple answer forms: 1) Yes, I have. 2) No, I haven’t.
Note: Present perfect questions are usually answered using past tenses:
Q: Have you ever taken a train to ________ ? A: Yes. I took a train there last month.
However, a negative response remains in a simple form:
Q: Have you ever been to Hong Kong? A: No I haven’t (I have not been there).
