Mini curso - Present perfect
1. Conjugação (verbo de exemplo ‘stop'):
I/you/we/they have stopped………………………………He/she/it has stopped
As contrações são: I've, you've, we've, they've, he's, she's, it's
2. Usamos o "Present Perfect Tense" para nos referirmos a algo que aconteceu no passado, mas que mantém algum tipo de conexão com o presente. O verbo principal encontra-se no "Past Participle". Quando usamos o "Present Perfect", estamos pensando no passado e no presente ao mesmo tempo, tanto que podemos modificar uma sentença no "Present Perfect", transformando-a em uma frase no "Simple Present" sem alterar seu sentido. Veja: I've broken my arm. (=My arm is broken now.)
3. O "Present Perfect Tense", porém, não é usado quando não nos referimos ao presente:
I missed the bus yesterday. ( e não I have missed the bus yesterday)
4. O "Present Perfect Tense" também é usado quando nos referimos às consequências que ações consumadas têm no presente:
Suzy has had a baby. [Isto significa que, agora (em virtude de uma ação passada), Suzy tem um filho.]
George has shot his girlfriend. [Isto significa que, agora (em virtude de uma ação passada), a namorada de George está morta.]
5. Também usamos o "Present Perfect Tense" para afirmarmos e/ou perguntarmos/negarmos se algo já aconteceu alguma vez, se já aconteceu antes, se nunca aconteceu, se aconteceu até certa data, se não aconteceu até certo período, se algo ainda não aconteceu. Alguns exemplos (note que a tradução dos exemplos é impossível de ser feita conservando-se as nuances do tempo, particular à língua inglesa):
Have you ever seen Elvis Presley? (=você já viu, alguma vez, o Elvis?)
I've never seen Elvis Presley. (=eu nunca vi Elvis Presley)
I think I've already done it. (=eu acho que eu já fiz isso)
He has written ‘shut up' for one hour. (=ele escreveu ‘shut up' durante uma hora)
Has Lyndon come yet? (=o Lyndon já veio?)
6. O "Present Perfect Tense" pode indicar ações que tiveram início no passado e vêm acontecendo até o presente: I've studied mathematics for years. (=eu venho estudando matemática por muitos anos)
I've tried to call you since two o'clock. (=tenho tentado te ligar desde as duas horas)
She's known him since 1897. (e nunca She knows him since 1897)
7. Nunca usamos o "Present Perfect Tense" em sentenças em que existam advérbios de tempo definido, tais como yesterday, last week, then, twenty years ago, in 1764 etc.
8. Quando queremos nos referir a ações que começaram no passado e ainda continuam acontecendo, podemos lançar mão de um outro tipo de construção, além do próprio "Present Perfect Tense", chamada "Present Perfect Progressive". Sua forma se dá da seguinte maneira:
We've been studying since eight o'clock in the morning. (=estamos estudando desde as oito horas da manhã) Porém, damos preferência ao "Present Perfect Tense" quando nos referimos a ações mais permanentes e/ou duradouras. O "Present Perfect Progressive" é preferível quando as ações são mais efêmeras:
That man's been standing there all day long.
That huge castle's stood there for 1200 years.
