1.3) Forming Questions in Present Perfect Tense, And 1.4) Frequently used Adverbs in Present Perfect Tense.

Hello! friends,

In this article, we are going to elaborate more on the ‘Present Perfect Tense’ and going to cover the remaining portion of the sentence structures.  This is forming short questions such as yes/no, or descriptive questions and answers. It is used when we want to get information about something like asking some about their past experience.

Grammar point: 1.3) Forming Questions in ‘Present Perfect Tense’:

Forming questions in the Present perfect tense

Forming short answer questions:

Structure: Have/has + Subject + Past participle

Example:

Question- Have you climbed the Mountain G2?

Ans.        - Yes, I have.

Ans.        - No, I haven’t.

Forming Long answer questions:

Structure: Wh-Questions + have/has + Subject + Past participle

Wh-words list:

Who

What

Where

How

Which

The formation of Wh-questions is easy just put Wh-words at the beginning of the sentence. Here is the example,

Question- When have you climbed the Mountain G2?

Ans-  I have climbed the mountain when I was 20.

Similarly, we can form a question answers in whatever wh-words are.

Grammar point: 1.4) Frequently used Adverbs in ‘Present Perfect Tense’:

The ultimate guide to learn: Frequently used Adverbs Ever, Never, Yet, Already.

In the ‘Present Perfect Tense,’ there are many adverbs that used frequently. They are Ever, Never, Yet, Already. Below is the table showing how to use each adverb and its meaning.

Adverb	Use	Meaning
Ever	Questions (Affirmative/Negative)	Experienced at some time in your life
Never	Statements (Negative)	Not Experienced at some time in your life.
Yet	Questions (Affirmative/Negative) and Statements (Negative)	Not finished or completed the task but believe you will do it.
Already	Questions (Affirmative/Negative) and Statements (Negative)	The task is completed, Not intended to do it again.

Now we are familiar with forming questions let’s look at how adverbs are used in the questions.

      1)    Ever

Structure: Have/has + Subject + ‘Ever’ + Past participle

      2)    Never

Structure: Have/has + Subject + ‘Never’ + Past participle

Example:

Que.- Have you ever been to the U. K?

Ans-  Yes, I have been to the U. K.

Ans-  No, I have never been to the U. K.

NOTE: DO NOT USE ‘NOT’ AND NEVER IN THE SAME SENTENCE

Wrong usage: I have not never been to the U. K.

   3)    Yet:

Example:

Ques.- Have you finished your work yet?

Ans:  -Yes, I’ve finished.

          -No, I haven’t finished it yet.

       4)    Already:

Example:

Ques.- Have you finished your work yet? We are already late to the party.

Ans. - Yes, I’ve already finished.

                   Or

More examples:
