 INTRODUCTION:

 The present perfect is a verb tense which is used to show that an action has taken place once or many times before now. The present perfect is most frequently used to talk about experiences or changes that have taken place, but there are other less common uses as well. 

The present perfect is formed using has/have + past participle. Questions are indicated by inverting the subject and has/have. Negatives are made with not.

Should- shouldn't 2. Have to- haven't 3. Must - musn't 4. Can- can't Forms: Should + subject + base form of the verb must / have to / need to + base form of the verb Ex amples: She  can speak  six languages. I  can't drive.

 INFORMATION: The simple past and the past progressiv e , also past continuous , are used to express actions in the past. We use the simple past as the narrative form of the past to express completed, sequential actions. We use the past progressive to say what was happening at a particular moment in the past, to set the scene and to emphasise the process or duration of a past action. more information in: https://english.lingolia.com/en/grammar/tense-comparison/simple-past-past-progressive https://www.ego4u.com/en/cram-up/grammar/simpas-paspro have fun in: https://agendaweb.org/verbs/past-progressive-past-simple.html https://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en/exercises/tenses/simple_past_progressive.htm https://www.perfect-english-grammar.com/past-simple-past-continuous-exercise-1.html Video: https://youtu.be/TbK4JLHIp-U
