Present Perfect

Have you ever … ?

We use the PRESENT PERFECT to talk about our EXPERIENCE without saying when.

What about you?

Have you ever played with a dolphin?

Yes, I have. / No, I haven’t.

Ex: John has played with a dolphin.

To form the PRESENT PERFECT use the auxiliary HAVE and the past participle of the main verb.

If the main verb is a regular verb, the past participle is formed by adding –ed.

If the main verb is an irregular verb, you have to learn its past participle!! (3rd column)
