Английский язык отличается разнообразием не только лексики, но и часовых форм. Отличие в том, что если в русском языке лишь три времени – прошедшее, настоящее и будущее, то английский язык богат аж 12 временных форм. Поэтому при изучении Present Perfect нужно внимательно разобрать все варианты его употребления.

Что такое Present Perfect?

Present Perfect, или как встречается в некоторых источниках Present Perfect Simple, — это настоящее совершенное время, указывающее на деяние или процесс, которые совершались в прошлом и закончилось до определенного момента в настоящем.

Большинству очень трудно понимать, ведь в русском языке всего лишь три времени – прошлое, настоящее, будущее, и никаких промежуточных вариантов быть не может. Однако английский язык придерживается иной мысли: событие может происходить в прошлом, тем не менее результат первостепенен в настоящем времени.

Например:

• I have watched a lot fo the movies with John Depp. — Я смотрел много фильмов с Джонни Деппом (фильмы были просмотрены в прошлом, при всем этом в настоящем важен результат — я имею представление, о чем идет в них речь).
• My brother has lost keys. — Мой брат потерял ключи (ключи потеряны в прошлом, но результат этого важен сейчас).
• Catherine has talked to her boyfriend over the phone. – Кэтрин поговорила по телефону со своим молодым человеком.
• Bryan has written a wonderful song. – Брайан написал чудесную песню!

Если другие перфектные времена, такие как Past Perfect Tense, Future Perfect, Past Perfect Continuous и т.д. употребляются достаточно редко, то Present Perfect просто необходимо досконально изучить, так как оно очень популярен в повседневной жизни.

Present Perfect: правила образования

Как и большинство времен английского языка образование Present Perfect происходит с помощью основного и вспомогательного глаголов.

Стоит также отметить, что разница в использовании между have и has зависит от подлежащего. Это две взаимозаменяемые формы.

Для 3 лица единственного числа мы используем has, во всех остальных случаях – have.

Т.е. если мы используем I/we/you/they, то вспомогательный глагол будет в форме have, если he/she/it – то has.

Например:

• I have listened to this song before. – Я слышал эту песню ранее.
• She has started worked hard lately. – В последнее время она начала очень много работать.
• We have been very tired at the time of travel. – Мы очень сильно устали вовремя путешествия.
• He has already seen his new boss. – Он уже виделся со своим новым начальником.
• Samantha has entered the university. – Саманта поступила в университет.
• The dog has stolen her ball inadvertently. – Собака нечаянно украла её мячик.

Например, неправильные глаголы:

• to lose – lost – lost;
• to bring – brought – brought;
• to catch – caught – caught;
• to buy – bought – bought;
• to send – sent – sent.

Правильные глаголы:

• to work – worked – worked;
• to listen – listened – listened;
• to paint – painted – painted;
• to receive – received – received;
• to enter – entered – entered.

Например:

Каждое время характеризуется особыми наречиями, которые и помогают определить какое именно время использовано в предложении.

Например:

ARVE Error: Mode: lazyload not available (ARVE Pro not active?), switching to normal mode

Present Perfect: формы предложения

Как и в любом другом времени в Present Perfect можно использовать три типа предложений – утвердительные (Affirmative), отрицательные (Negative) и вопросительные (Interrogative).

Утвердительные предложения Present Perfect

Примеры:

Например:

Не стоит также забывать, что вспомогательный глагол может сокращаться для упрощения речи, например:

Например:

Отрицательные предложения Present Perfect

Например:

Стоит также помнить, что вспомогательный глагол и отрицательная частица могут сокращаться и иметь следующие формы:

• have + not = haven’t;
• has + not = hasn’t.

Например:

Вопросительные предложения Present Perfect

Например:

Такая схема подходит только для альтернативных и общих вопросов. Остальные типы вопросов строятся по другой схеме.

Например:

Четвертый тип вопроса – разделительный. При построении такого типа вопроса сохраняется порядок слов как в утверждении или отрицании, а после них добавляется вопросы в короткой форме.

Например:

Что касается ответов, то в специальных и альтернативных вопросах в Present Perfect необходимо формулировать полное предложение. В остальных случаях можно обойтись кратким ответом на вопрос.

Например:

• Has Charlie turned off the lamp? – Yes, she has./No, she hasn’t.
  Чарли выключила лампу? – Да./Нет.
• Has Cristina studied German or Italian? – Cristina has studied German.
  Кристина изучает немецкий или итальянский язык? – Она изучает немецкий язык.
• Your elder sister has given birth to a child, has not she? – No, she has not.
  Твоя старшая сестра родила ребенка, не так ли? – Нет.

Present Perfect: употребление

Present Perfect используется в тех случаях, когда мы говорим про действие, которое совершилось в прошлом, но результат которого важен в настоящем.

Например:

• I know Peter. I have already met him. – Я знаю Питера. Я уже видел его.
• I have closed the house. – Я замкнула дом. (Двери дома закрыты).

Рассмотрим еще несколько случаев, в которых мы используем Present Perfect.

ARVE Error: Mode: lazyload not available (ARVE Pro not active?), switching to normal mode

Акцентирование внимания на результате действия

В английском языке используется Present Perfect, когда необходимо обратить внимание не на само действие в прошлом, а на его результат. Продолжительность процесса не имеет в данном случае значения.

Пример:

К данному случаю употребления можно также отнести те ситуации, когда прошедшее действие является причиной совершенного действия в настоящем времени.

Например:

• Edward can not get into the house. He has lost the keys. – Эдвард не может попасть в дом. Он потерял ключи. (В данный момент Эдвард не может оказаться в доме, потому что в прошлом – день или неделю назад – он где-то оставил свои ключи).
• Richard can not go to the United Kingdom. He has not made a foreign passport. – Ричард не может поехать в Великобританию. Он не сделал загранпаспорт. (Сейчас в настоящее время Ричард не может посетить страну, потому что в прошлом он не сделал документы).

С перфектными наречиями

Present Perfect может использоваться в сложных предложениях, для того, чтобы указать на действие которое закончилось недавно.

Например:

Например:

• Up to now Kate has not found her glasses. – Кейт до сих пор не нашла свои очки.
• You haven’t shown me your dairy book yet. – Ты еще не показала мне свой дневник.
• I have already told to children a fairytale. – Я уже рассказала детям сказку.

Отдельного внимания заслуживает указатель времени Present Perfect yet. Зачастую оно используется в отрицательных и вопросительных предложениях и стоит в конце. Ответ тоже можно давать краткий.

Например:

• Has Jim finished the article yet? – Not yet.
  Джим уже закончил статью? – Ещё нет.
• Have you learned to ride a bicycle yet? – Not yet.
  Ты уже научился кататься на велосипеде? – Еще нет.

Наречие before также используется только в предложениях вопросительных (interrogative) и отрицательных (negative).

Например:

• Have you heard this song before? – Слышал ли ты эту песню ранее?
• Have you seen Thomas before? – Виделась ли ты с Томасом ранее?

Рассказ о своем опыте

Используется Present Perfect также для того, чтобы акцентировать внимание непосредственно на действие, а не на время его совершения.

Например:

В таких предложениях нередко можно встретить числительные.

Например:

• Our family has already visited this picture gallery four times. – Наша семья посещала эту картинную галерею уже четыре раза.
• Christopher has already traveled abroad twice. – Кристофер путешествовал за границу уже дважды.
• Jennifer has gone to the competition for the third time. – Дженнифер ездила на соревнования уже в третий раз.

Например:

• Matt has been to Poland only once. – Мэтт был в Польше всего один раз.

Конструкция have been in означает, что человек еще не вернулся из указанного места, например:

• Family of Browns has been in New York for five years. – Семья Браунов в Нью-Йорке уже пять лет.

Словосочетание have gone to в отличие от двух предыдущих конструкций означает, что человек, о котором идет речь, только отправился куда-то, например:

• Peter can’t buy the book, because the owner has already gone home. – Питер не купил книгу, потому что владелец ушел уже домой.

Чтобы выделить, сколько раз произошло действие

Present Perfect используется для того, чтобы обратить внимание на то, сколько раз именно совершалось действие, а не где и когда.

Примеры:

Если период, в который случилось действие, еще не закончился

Примеры:

Present Perfect в роли Present Perfect Continuous

В данном случае Present Perfect используется для того, чтобы действие продолжается до момента совершения разговора. В такой ситуации используется Present Perfect в тех случаях, когда используются глаголы, которые указывают на продолжительность или указывают на состояние.

Примеры:

Одной небольшой хитростью для того, чтобы понять, что это именно Present Perfect, а не Present Perfect Continuous, является наличие в предложении предлога «for ages».

Например:

• Joseph has known Marina for ages. – Джозеф знает Марину целую вечность.
• I have not got enough sleep for ages. – Я нормально не высыпалась уже очень давно.

ARVE Error: Mode: lazyload not available (ARVE Pro not active?), switching to normal mode

Present Perfect с предлогами since и ever since

Present Perfect используется в сложноподчиненных предложениях времени. Предлоги since и ever since считаются также маркерами данного времени.

Например:

Present Perfect Tense с придаточными времени

Как правило, такие предложения используют для того, чтобы акцентировать внимание на том, что одно действие произойдет лишь тогда, когда будет исполнено второе.

Примеры:

Чтобы рассказать недавнюю новость

Примеры:

Present Perfect и Past Simple

Очень часто при переводе многие путают, когда уместно использование Present Perfect, а когда Past Simple. Present Perfect используется для того, чтобы описать действие, которое еще ни разу не делалось, а Past Simple – когда делалось ранее.

Заключение

Несмотря на то что случаев употребления Present Perfect довольно-таки много, при постоянной практике грамматика данного времени не будет казаться настолько сложной, как на первый взгляд. Главное – немного усердия и от сомнений не останется и следа!

Понятие настоящего времени в английском языке не всегда совпадает с нашим. Одним из самых ярких примеров такого различия как раз является Present Perfect.

В этой статье мы разберемся, что такое Present Perfect, как оно образуется, в каких случаях употребляется, каким правилам подчиняется и закрепим знания на реальных примерах предложений с переводом.

Что такое Present Perfect Tense?

Present Perfect Tense (Present Perfect) — это настоящее совершенное время в английском языке. Оно обозначает действие, которое завершилось в настоящий момент времени.

В этом и состоит основная сложность времени Present Perfect для изучающих. В русском языке нет времени аналогичного Present Perfect. Для нас если что-то происходит сейчас — это и есть настоящее, а если совершилось — это уже прошлое.

Но не для англичан. Они воспринимают время немного по-другому. По логике носителей языка, действие вполне может закончиться и в настоящем или близко к настоящему моменту. Для выражения такой связи прошлого с настоящим и существует Present Perfect.

Из-за этих особенностей в понимании действий и времени — на русский язык Present Perfect обычно переводится глаголом в прошедшем времени.

I have already done my homework — Я уже сделал домашнее задание

В этом примере используется время Present Perfect (have done), потому что речь идет о том, что действие (работа над домашним заданием) закончилось совсем недавно.

Но на русский язык мы переводим предложение используя прошедшее время (уже сделал).

Как образуется Present Perfect?

Время Present Perfect образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола have / has и Past Participle (третьей формы смыслового глагола: V3).

Вспомогательный глагол меняется в зависимости от подлежащего:

• I / You / We / They → have (для 1-го, 2-го лица и форм множественного числа)
• She / He / It → has (для 3-го лица единственного числа)

Завершает конструкцию времени Present Perfect смысловой глагол в третьей форме (V3).

Если смысловой глагол правильной формы — то его третья форма (V3) образуется при помощи окончания -ed.

Если смысловой глагол неправильный — то его третью форму (V3) берем из таблицы неправильных глаголов.

Например:

• to try → tried (пытаться)
  to cook → cooked (готовить)
  to finish → finished (заканчивать)
• to get → got (получать)
  to keep → kept (хранить)
  to see → seen (видеть)

Утверждение:

Утвердительное предложение в Present Perfect образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола have / has и смыслового глагола с окончанием -ed для правильных глаголов или третьей формы неправильного глагола (V3) по формуле:

• I / You / We / They + have + Ved (V3)
• She / He / It + has + Ved (V3)

I have decided — Я решил

You have played — Ты играл

He has done — Он сделал

It has turned on — Оно включилось

В предложениях и повседневной речи часто можно встретить сокращенную форму вспомогательных глаголов have / has. Она образуется при помощи добавления к подлежащему ‘ve (для have) или ‘s (для has):

• I have = I’ve
• You have = You’ve
• We have = We’ve
• They have = They’ve

• She has = She’s
• He has = He’s
• It has = It’s

I’ve done my tasks — Я выполнил свои задачи

He’s washed the dishes — Он вымыл посуду

Отрицание:

Отрицательные предложения в Present Perfect образуется при помощи добавления частицы not после вспомогательного глагола have / has, но перед основным смысловым глаголом. Формула выглядит следующим образом:

• I / You / We / They + have not + Ved (V3)
• She / He / It + has not + Ved (V3)

I have not done my homework — Я не сделал домашнюю работу

They have not come — Они не пришли

She has not finished her tasks — Она не выполнила свои задачи

It has not turned on — Оно не включилось

В отрицании частицу not можно сократить путем присоединения ее к вспомогательному глаголу have / has:

• Have not = haven’t
• Has not = hasn’t

I haven’t washed my hair — Я не помыл волосы

She hasn’t been to London yet — Она еще не была в Лондоне

Вопрос:

Вопросительное предложение в Present Perfect образуется путем постановки вспомогательного глагола have / has в начало предложения. Формула будет такой:

• Have + I / You / We / They + Ved (V3)
• Has + She / He / It + Ved (V3)

Have I bought all the presents? — Я купил все подарки?

Have you finished the classes? — Ты закончил занятия?

Has she just arrived home? — Она только что приехала домой?

Has it turned on? — Оно включилось?

Специальные вопросы образуются при помощи question words (вопросительных слов). Таких, как when (когда), how (как), what (что), where (где) и других. Далее идет такой же порядок слов, как и в вопросе.

• QW + have + I / You / We / They + Ved (V3)
• QW + has + She / He / It + Ved (V3)

What has he just said? — Что он только что сказал?

How long have you knocked on the door? — Как давно ты стучал в дверь?

Когда употребляется Present Perfect?

А сейчас рассмотрим самые распространенные случаи употребления и использования времени Present Perfect в речи:

• Завершенное действие в настоящем

В таком случае акцент ставится на результат завершенного действия. Другими словами, когда результат действия виден в настоящем.

I have cooked a good dinner — Я приготовил хороший ужин (действие завершилось, результат — хороший ужин)

I know Nina. We have already met — Я знаю Нину. Мы уже встречались (встреча произошла в прошлом, но нас интересует результат в настоящем)

• Незавершенное действие в настоящем

Время Present Perfect используется в случае, когда мы описываем действие, которое началось в прошлом, еще не закончилось в настоящем, но результат очевиден.

I’ve written five pages of the new book this morning — Я написал пять страниц новой книги этим утром (утро еще не закончилось, он может написать еще несколько страниц)

She has finished watching “Harry Potter” this week — Она закончила смотреть «Гарри Поттера» на этой неделе (неделя еще идет, но она уже закончила смотреть фильм)

• Факт действия / личный опыт

Если говорящему важно подчеркнуть факт какого-то свершившегося события без точного указания времени — на помощь также приходит Present Perfect. Часто это время используется, когда мы говорим о своем прошлом опыте или же, спрашиваем об этом своего собеседника.

I have been to Bratislava — Я был (бывал) в Братиславе

В вопросе, когда мы интересуемся фактом из чьей-то жизни — используем также Present Perfect:

Have you ever been to France? — Ты когда-нибудь был (бывал) во Франции?

Маркеры времени Present Perfect

Present Perfect употребляется с неточными выражениями и словами, которые указывают на еще не закончившийся период времени

• never (никогда)
• ever (когда-либо)
• already (уже)
• yet (еще) / not yet (еще нет)
• often (часто)
• lately (в последнее время)
• just (только что)
• once (однажды)
• recently (недавно)
• before (раньше)
• today (сегодня)
• this week (на этой неделе)
• this year (в этом году)
• for an hour (в течение часа)
• for a long time (долгое время)
• since two o’clock – с двух часов
• ince December – с Декабря
