It’s
normal for us people to commit mistakes whenever or wherever we are. There is
no such thing or person existing to be perfect. Even professionals like
teachers commit errors. In order not to commit the same mistakes again, we have
to study and learn more about things.
As
students, who are studying English as our field of specialization, we have to
consider the rules and principles about the English language for us to be good
at the area that we’re specializing. For now, I will share to you on how to use
perfect tenses of the verb. But, what is perfect tense?
Perfect tense is used if the action
already completed or done. The word “perfect” on perfect tense literally means
“made complete” or “completely done”. The formula for perfect tense is have
plus the past participle of the verb (have + ppv).
For
past perfect tense, action is completed on the past. The formula for past
perfect tense is had plus the past participle of the verb (had + ppv). For
example, I had seen your friend.
For
present perfect tense, action is completed on the present timet. The formula
for present perfect tense is has or have plus the past participle of the verb
(has/have + ppv). For example, I have
seen your friend.
And for
future perfect tense, action is completed with respect to the future. The
formula for future perfect tense is will or shall plus the past participle of
the verb (will/shall + ppv). For example, I shall return.
Some
experts on the English language consider the passive voice of a certain verbs
that are always intransitive can also be on the perfect tense. For example, the
sentences “They are gone.” and “He is risen.”
So as
early as today, we must know and apply the different rules and principles that
we’ve learned or still learning for us to be accurate and fluent in using the
English language.
