PREGUNTAS PROBLEMATIZADORAS:
Present Perfect
The present perfect is made using the auxiliary verb have plus the past participle of the main verb.
The past participle, for regular verbs, is the same as the past simple.
I have worked
He has lived
They have watched
Present Perfect
Positive Negative Question
She's not lived is also possible but not as common as she hasn't lived
A. Indefinite Past.
In the first sentence, we use past simple because we are talking about a specified time in the past, 1997.
In the second sentence, though, we are just saying "at some time in my life" without being specific as to
exactly when we have been to Paris - so we use the present perfect.
Examples:
Now look at the same examples with more specific time expressions. Note how we have to use the past
simple in these sentences.

Wild weather
British people are famous for always talking about the weather, but there’s a good reason why we do.
The British Isles are located in a place where two huge weather systems meet and, it often seems, do
battle. Even so, strange things have been happening in recent years, as they have been in many other
places around the world. There can’t be many people that haven’t been affected by weather that was
hotter, wetter, drier or wilder than the weather they are used to. This article, based on an article by
Peter Miller from the September 2013 issue of National Geographic Magazine, looks at what is
happening to our weather.
