What to Focus On

  • Used for actions that are recently completed.

  • Do not use specific past time words like 'yesterday' or 'last week'.
  • Describes an action that happened before another past action.
  • Always used with a reference to another past event.
  • Helps show the sequence of events in the past.
  • Used for actions that will be completed in the future.
  • Emphasizes completion before a future time.
  • Often used with 'by' + time expression.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Present Perfect Tense can be used with specific past time expressions like 'yesterday' or 'in April'.

Has/Have + base verb (e.g., 'has go') is correct in Present Perfect Tense.

Past Perfect Tense is used for any past action, even if there's no earlier past reference.
