    8 Present perfect 2 (I have done)


    A Study this example conversation:
    DaVE: Have you travelled a lot, Jane?
    JaNE: Yes, I’ve been to lots of places. Jane’s life
    DaVE: Really? Have you ever been to China? (a period until now)
    JaNE: Yes, I’ve been to China twice.
    DaVE: What about India? past now
    JaNE: No, I haven’t been to India.
    When we talk about a period of time that continues from the past until now, we use the present
    perfect (have been / have travelled etc.). Here, Dave and Jane are talking about the places Jane
    has visited in her life, which is a period that continues until now.

    In the same way we say:


    Have you ever eaten caviar?
    We’ve never had a car.
    I don’t know what the film is about. I haven’t seen it.
    Susan really loves that book. She’s read it three times. (She’s = She has)
    It’s a really boring movie. It’s the most boring movie I’ve ever seen.
    been (to) = visited:
    I’ve never been to Canada. Have you been there?

    B In the following examples too, the speakers are talking about a period that continues until now
    (recently, in the last few days, so far, since I arrived etc.):
    Have you heard anything from Ben recently? recently
    I’ve met a lot of people in the last few days.
    Everything is going well. There haven’t been any in the last few days
    problems so far. since I arrived
    The weather is bad here. It’s (= It has) rained every past now
    day since I arrived. (= from when I arrived until now)
    It’s good to see you again. We haven’t seen each other for a long time.
    In the same way we use the present perfect with today, this evening, this year etc. when these
    periods are not finished at the time of speaking:
    I’ve drunk four cups of coffee today. today
    Have you had a holiday this year?
    I haven’t seen Tom this morning. Have you? past now

    C We say ‘It’s the (first) time something has happened’. For example:
    Don is having a driving lesson. It’s his first lesson.
    We can say: This is the first time
    I’ve driven a car.
    It’s the first time he has driven a car. (not drives)
    or He hasn’t driven a car before.
    or He has never driven a car before.
    In the same way we say:
    Sarah has lost her passport again. This is the second
    time this has happened. (not happens)
    Andy is phoning his girlfriend again. It’s the third
    time he’s phoned her this evening.
