 What’s New

Have you gone to a place which captured your interest? Come, let’s visit
Antique and explore the beauty of Aningalan.

Aningalan in San Remigio is known as

the summer capital of Antique. Many people
who have gone there admire its peaceful
atmosphere. Vanessa and her friends have
visited the place as well. They have explored
Igbaclag Cave for almost an hour. It is famous
for its beautiful rock formation. A tourist
guide has accompanied them since the first
day of their tour. They loved the scenic beauty
of the mountains which seemed to meet the blue skies. What they enjoyed most was
the cool climate of the place. When they had left for the city, they realized the value
and importance of nature. They promised themselves that by summer next year, they
will have returned to the place together with their families.

What is It

Now, read again the paragraph above and take note of the following phrases.
 have gone
 have visited
 have explored
 has accompanied
 had left
 will have returned

The phrases used above are examples of Perfect Tenses of Verbs. Perfect
Tenses of verbs are of three kinds.

I. The Present Perfect Tense is made up of has/have plus the past participle form
of the verb.
A. Has + past participle form of the verb is used when the subject is singular.

Examples:
1. A tourist guide has accompanied them since the first day of their tour.
2. Sheila has worked as a nurse for a year now.

3 CO_Q3_English4_ Module4
 B. Have + past participle form of the verb is used when the subject is plural. It
is also used when the subject is I or You.
Examples:
1. They have explored Igbaclag Cave for almost an hour.
2. Sheila and Maricel have worked as nurses since 2015.
3. I have practiced my profession as a nurse for a year now.
4. You have worked as a nurse since 2015.

In present perfect tense, we refer to an action or state that happened or

occurred at an indefinite time in the past or something that began in the past and
continued up to the present. With present perfect tense, we also use the expressions
for and since. For is used to express the duration of the action and since is used to
indicate the starting point of the action.

II. The Past Perfect Tense indicates an action that had already happened at some
point in the past (which is expressed through the past perfect form of the verb) before
another action took place (that is expressed in simple past form of the verb). It also
refers to actions that were completed before certain or specific time in the past. The
Past Perfect Tense is formed by using the past tense of “to have” which is had + past
participle form of the verb. This is applicable for either singular or plural subject.
Examples:
1. When they had left for the city, they realized the value and importance of
nature.
2. Sheila had worked as a nurse before she went abroad.
3. After Sheila and Maricel had passed the nursing licensure examination, they
applied for work.
4. I had worked as a nurse when the COVID 19 pandemic started.
5. You had worked as a nurse before I met you.

In the past perfect tense, the expressions before, after and when are used.

III. The Future Perfect Tense is a verb tense used with an action that will be
completed sometime in the future before another future action will take place or
before a specified point in the future. It is formed by using will/shall have + the
past participle form of the verb with either singular or plural subject.

Examples:
1. By next year, they will have returned to the place together with their
families.
2. Sheila will have worked as a nurse here before she goes abroad.
3. Sheila and Maricel shall have worked as nurses by the end of next year.
4. I will have worked as a nurse by the time my father retires from work.
5. You shall have worked as a nurse by then.

In the Future Perfect Tense expressions like before, by, by the time, by
then and by the end of are used.

participle form of the verb.
