Present Perfect vs. past simple.
Apa beza dua ni?
Kita dah belajar present perfect ialah perkara yang telah berlaku sebelum dan masih berlaku sehingga sekarang.
Past simple pula adalah perkara yang telah berlaku sebelum ini dan telah berhenti pada waktu ianya berlaku atau tidak akan berlaku lagi pada masa akan datang. Let's look at some of the examples.
| Present Perfect Simple | Past Simple |
Unfinished actions that started in the past and continue to the present:
| Finished actions:
|
A finished action in someone's life (when the person is still alive: life experience):
| A finished action in someone's life (when the person is dead):
|
A finished action with a result in the present:
| A finished action with no result in the present:
|
With an unfinished time word (this week, this month, today):
| With a finished time word (last week, last month, yesterday):
|
Remember:
Present Perfect with for and since.
For and since are commonly used with the present perfect tense.
We use Present Perfect tense to talk about action which started in the past and continues up to the present. For and since are used with the present perfect to indicate time.
For
We use for to talk about a period of time (a few days, half an hour, two years...)
Examples:
He has studied in Dublin for 3 years.
We have worked for 2 hours.
Since
We use since to talk about a specific point in time, or a time when the action started (last year, June 8, 9 o'clock...)
Examples:
We have learnt Spanish here since 2002.
I have loved you since the first time I met you.
It can be quite tricky to know which one to use and just like everything else, you need to practise!

Present Perfect ni ialah perbuatan/kata kerja(verb) yang dah berlaku sebelum ini, dan kenyataan tentang perbuatan ini memang telah berlaku dan masih berterusan/kekal sehingga sekarang ni.
Contoh:
I have cleaned the bathroom.
Perkara ni dah berlaku tadi(Perfect), dan saya sudah berhenti membersihkannya. Kenyataannya ialah, bilik air(bathroom) telah dibersihkan
To make the positive present perfect tense, use:
(Also, here's some help if you are not sure how to pronounce '-ed' at the end of a verb).
| Positive | Positive Short Form |
| I have played | I've played |
| you have worked | you've worked |
| he has written | he's written |
| she has walked | she's walked |
| it has rained | it's rained |
| we have travelled | we've travelled |
| they have studied | they've studied |
Try an exercise about the positive form here
The negative is really simple too. Just put 'not' after 'have' or 'has':
| Negative | Negative Short Form |
| I have not eaten breakfast today | I haven't eaten |
| you have not been to Asia | you haven't been |
| he has not seen the new film | he hasn't seen |
| she has not played tennis | she hasn't played |
| it has not snowed this winter | it hasn't snowed |
| we have not slept all night | we haven't slept |
| they have not tried the food | they haven't tried |
Try an exercise about the negative form here
To make a question, put 'have' or 'has' in front of the subject:
| 'Yes / No' Questions |
| have I missed the bus? |
| have you visited London? |
| has he worked as a waiter before? |
| has she met John? |
| has it been cold this week? |
| have we arrived too early? |
| have they studied English grammar before? |
As you can imagine, for 'wh' questions, we just put the question word before 'have' or 'has':
| 'Wh' Questions |
| where have I left my umbrella? |
| what have you done today? |
| why has he gone already? |
| where has she been in the UK? |
| why has it rained so much this summer? |
| what have we done? |
| where have they learned English before? |
The future using will or shall
| 'Will' does not change its form. | |
|---|---|
I, you, he, she, it, we, they | will |
| 'Will' is often shortened to ...'ll. | |
The negative of 'will' is 'will not' - often shortened to won't | |
I, you, he, she, it, we, they | will not / won't |
| For example | ||
|---|---|---|
| + | - | |
| I will go. | I'll go. | I won't go |
| You will go. | You'll go. | You won't go |
| He will go. | He'll go. | He won't go |
| She will go. | She'll go. | She won't go |
| It will go. | It'll go. | It won't go |
| We will go. | We'll go. | We won't go |
| They will go. | They'll go. | They won't go |
!Note! 'Will' on its own is not used for things we have arranged or decided to do.
"Will" is usually used in these situations:-
| Volunteering Sukarela nak buat to do something: | (The phone is ringing). I'll answer it. Telefon berdering, jadi saya akan tolong jawabkan |
|---|---|
Promising Janji to do something: | (A friend is leaving) I'll visit you in the summer. Saya akan melawat awak musim panas nanti |
Deciding Buat keputusan to do something : | (Your car won't start) I'll buy a new car. (Kereta anda tidak boleh dihidupkan) saya akan beli kereta baharu |
Ordering Mengarah someone to do something: | (Your child won't do their homework) You'll do your homework now! (Anak anda tidak mahu buat kerja rumah) Awak akan buat kerja rumah sekarang! |
Predicting Jangkaan sesuatu akan berlaku something will happen | (Winter is coming) I think it will be a cold winter. (Musim sejuk akan tiba) Saya jangkakan musim sejuk ini akan lebih sejuk. |
Sometimes you can use 'will' as a threat.
Don't move or I'll shoot!
!Note! 'Will' is often used with think - "I think I will ..."
Positive (+) | Negative (-) | |
|---|---|---|
Statement | I'll do my homework now. | I won't do my homework later. |
Statement | I think she'll go to the cinema tonight. | I don't think she'll go to the cinema tomorrow. |
Question (using will) | Will there be a test on Monday? | Won't there be a test on Monday? |
Question (closed) | Do you think they'll win? | Do you think they won't win? |
Question (open) | What do you think he'll do in the summer holidays? |
| 'Shall' does not change its form. | |
|---|---|
I, you, he, she, it, we, they | shall. |
| 'Shall' is also shortened to ...'ll. | |
I'll, you'll, he'll, she'll, we'll, they'll - and even (although it's not good English) it'll | |
The negative of 'shall' is 'shall not' - often shortened to shan't | |
I, you, he, she, it, we, they | shall not / shan't |
In British English 'Shall' is often used instead of will in the first person (I/we).
I / We will | = | I / We shall |
|---|---|---|
I shall be at work on time. | = | I will be at work on time. |
We shall win the competition. | = | We will win the competition. |
They shall not pass! | = | They shan't pass! |
'Shall' is also often used in the first person (I/we) in questions when asking for permission minta izin, making suggestions bagi cadangan, making an offer buat tawarkan or asking for advice beri nasihat. Dalam kata lain, Shall ni untuk menyuruh tanpa paksaan.
Shall I do that? |
Shall we go home? |
