III. VERBS

Si bien cabe recalcar que para poder entender y tener una mejor práctica acerca del "Present Perfect" tenemos que aprendernos los verbos, es mejor aprenderselos en sus tres formas:

Infinitive Form, Past and Past Participle.

Tip:

Es mejor aprenderse los verbos irregulares, ya que los regulares no se encontrarán en la siguiente lista y quiere decir que si no están es por que terminan en -d o -ed.

Por ejemplo: Work - worked - worked

Decide - decided - decided

Write a mail to a friend giving information about your birthday party following the writing tip.

Writing Tip

When we write a letter to a friend telling him/her about our preparations for an event (such as party, wedding, celebration, etc.), we divide it into four paragraphs.

Paragraph 1: We begin by stating why we are writing the letter.

Paragraph 2: We write about the preparartions we have already made.

Paragraph 3: We mention the preparations we haven´t made yet.

Paragraph 4: We end our letter by reminding our friend about the date of the event. We include a closing remark. E.g. That's all for now. I hope you can be there.

We use the Present Perfect to talk about the preparations we have/haven´t made.
