A lot of people comment, thank you, and ask me, "Rani, what's present perfect, what's
1
13880
10240
00:24
past perfect, what's PP, where am I, how did I get here?"
2
24120
5320
00:29
So I'm here to help you, teach you this so you can learn it forever.
3
29440
5960
00:35
It's very easy once you get it first of all.
4
35400
1920
00:37
So present perfect versus past perfect, all of the tenses in English when you have something
5
37320
10160
00:47
that's perfect, it means you have to use the past participle of the verb.
6
47480
6080
00:53
Now as an English teacher, I don't like having to write past participle because it takes
7
53560
11120
01:04
a long time and it's hard to say really quickly.
8
64680
2800
01:07
So most people shorten it to PP, not, I have to PP, different, okay.
9
67480
6100
01:13
So when I write on the board PP, it means the past participle.
10
73580
4880
01:18
The past participle, it's hard to say, of the verb is the third part of the verb.
11
78460
5860
01:24
So for example, if you have the verb "have", what is the past participle of "have"?
12
84320
7800
01:32
Anyone know?
13
92120
1000
01:33
Anyone know?
14
93120
1000
01:34
"Had", oh yay, good.
15
94120
1880
01:36
So "had" is the past participle of "have", perfect.
16
96000
4720
01:40
So let's start off.
17
100720
3520
01:44
Present perfect, we use for events in the past.
18
104240
6320
01:50
I know it's confusing because it says right here present perfect, but both of these grammars,
19
110560
5840
01:56
grammars?
20
116400
1000
01:57
Both of these tenses, we use to talk about a past event.
21
117400
4840
02:02
So present perfect is "have" or "has" plus the past participle.
22
122240
9520
02:11
If it is "I", "they", "you", and "we", we have to use "have".
23
131760
5720
02:17
If it is "he", "she", or "it", we have to use "has".
24
137480
6400
02:23
This is the number one mistake that students make when they're writing or speaking.
25
143880
6320
02:30
A lot of people say, "she have", which is wrong.
26
150200
4600
02:34
You have to be careful.
27
154800
1440
02:36
You can remember "he", "she", "it", "he", "she", "it", "shit" is "has", okay?
28
156240
7960
02:44
"I", "they", "you", and "we" is "have" plus the past participle.
29
164200
5440
02:49
So I've asked you, what is the past tense of "have"?
30
169640
5720
02:55
Answer, "had".
31
175360
3520
02:58
So if you know that the present tense is "have" plus "pp", you're going to go, "Oh, oh, oh,
32
178880
9200
03:08
yeah.
33
188080
1000
03:09
Okay, hold on."
34
189080
1000
03:10
The past tense of "have" is "had".
35
190080
7880
03:17
So when we use past perfect, all we're changing is this verb to "had".
36
197960
10840
03:28
It's that easy.
37
208800
1680
03:30
So the other very easy thing about past perfect is we don't have to change it for "he", "she",
38
210480
8360
03:38
or "it".
39
218840
1000
03:39
Yay.
40
219840
1000
03:40
There's nothing to really remember about the past perfect except for it's "had".
41
220840
5340
03:46
So "I", "he", "she", "it", "they", "we", and "you", we all use "had".
42
226180
6180
03:52
Fun times.
43
232360
2080
03:54
When we use the negative, it's the same idea except we're using "hadn't".
44
234440
5240
03:59
So "I", "he", "she", "it", "they", "you", "we", "you", "hadn't".
45
239680
5800
04:05
It's unusual to say "had not".
46
245480
4720
04:10
If you want to use "had not", it's to more emphasize things like, "I had not done that."
47
250200
7360
04:17
But we usually say "hadn't", okay?
48
257560
3320
04:20
And again, because it is perfect, you have to use the past participle or the PP of the
49
260880
5720
04:26
verb.
50
266600
1000
04:27
Is this easy now?
51
267600
2040
04:29
So present perfect "have" plus the past participle, past perfect "had" plus the past participle.
52
269640
8520
04:38
Good.
53
278160
1360
04:39
Let's go into the negative of present perfect.
54
279520
5240
04:44
When we use "I", "they", "you", and "we", we have to use "haven't", just like in the
55
284760
6320
04:51
present or in the positive.
56
291080
2960
04:54
And again, "he", "she", and "it", we have to use "hasn't" plus the past participle.
57
294040
5880
04:59
If you want to make a question in the present perfect, you're going to say "have" or "has".
58
299920
10280
05:10
Then you're going to use the subject.
59
310200
2520
05:12
So in this case, these are the subjects.
60
312720
2880
05:15
Has he plus the past participle.
61
315600
5960
05:21
Has he eaten is a present perfect sentence.
62
321560
8820
05:30
You can change "he" to a person's name.
63
330380
2900
05:33
I can say, "Has Kevin eaten?"
64
333280
5680
05:38
Because Kevin is a "he", I have to use "has".
65
338960
4400
05:43
So remember that as well, it's important.
66
343360
3080
05:46
When we use past perfect, like I said, it's the same idea.
67
346440
5480
05:51
We don't have to change this reflecting on the subject.
68
351920
5340
05:57
The question form, we don't have to change either.
69
357260
3060
06:00
So it's "had" plus your subject, plus your past participle, and you must have a question
70
360320
12160
06:12
mark.
71
372480
1040
06:13
If you do not have a question mark at the end of the sentence, it's just wrong, and
72
373520
6320
06:19
your teacher goes, "Wrong!"
73
379840
2200
06:22
And you don't understand why, because you remember "has" and "have", but don't forget
74
382040
5800
06:27
the question mark, all right?
75
387840
2400
06:30
So I hope that you can remember how to make present perfect and past perfect.
