Present perfect

time expression such as today, this week,

this month, recently, etc.

been v. gone

The verb go has two past participle forms:

been and gone.

We use been when we know that

someone has returned from a journey. We
use gone when they have not returned.
Josh has been to India. (He is back now.)
Josh has gone to India. (He is still in India.)

Negative
Full form

Contracted form

I have not worked.

You have not worked.
He has not worked.
She has not worked.
It has not worked.

I havent worked.
You havent worked.
He hasnt worked.
She hasnt worked.
It hasnt worked.

We have not worked. We havent worked.

You have not worked. You havent worked.
They have not worked. They havent worked.

We form the present perfect with the verb

have and the past participle.

The past participle of regular verbs ends

in -ed. It has the same form as the past
simple ending. See the past simple spelling
rules on page 32.
Past simple: John lived in China.
Present perfect: John has lived in China.

The past participle forms of irregular verbs

need to be learnt individually. See page
120.

We use the present perfect to talk about

experiences that happened at any time
in the past. We dont have to use a time
expression to say when the event happened.

Answers page 116

We use question words to make

wh- questions.
What other countries have you visited?

In questions, we often use ever, which

means at any time in your life. We put
ever just before the past participle.
Has this ever happened before?

In short answers, we repeat the auxiliary

have/has rather than the past participle.
Have you seen the new James Bond film?
Yes, I have.
NOT Yes, Ive seen.

The word just goes immediately before

the past participle.

PortAventura, Spain

The United States has got more

theme parks than any other country
in the world. But there are some
amazing theme parks in Europe too.
Here are some of the best.

Efteling, Holland
Opened in the 1930s, Efteling was an
inspiration for Walt Disney. Today its a
magical forest, full of medieval dragons and
ogres. Here, you can meet your favourite
storybook characters and enjoy a ride on
the double-loop rollercoaster Python. And
dont miss the 3-D film Panda Vision; the
animals throw fruit at you and splash you
with water.

Have you ever travelled to Mexico and China

on the same day? You can here. PortAventura
opened in 1995, and has five zones, each with
its own shows and rides. The Dragon Khan
is the biggest rollercoaster, but you can also
experience sea monsters in the futuristic Sea
Odyssey, and a 110kph fall from the Hurakan
Condor tower.
Disneyland, Paris
One of Europes most popular theme parks,
Disneyland Paris opened in 1992. It has
four lands: Frontierland, with its cowboys;
Adventureland, with Caribbean islands;
Fantasyland, with the Sleeping Beauty
Castle, and Discoveryland, with the amazing
Space Mountain, Mission 2 ride. For many,
The Pirates of the Caribbean ride here is
the best in the world.

Write the name of the theme park, D (Disneyland), P (PortAventura) or E (Efteling).

1 E_ is the oldest of the three parks.
2 _ and _ have areas representing different
countries.
3 You walk through trees at _

4 You go down very fast on one of the

rides at _
5 There are futuristic rides at _ and _
6 You can get very dirty and wet at _
