Table of contents

Scommettiamo che hai appena digitato le lettere “esercizi present perfect” oppure “past simple e present perfect esercizi” 😉 Beh, qui hai trovato davvero quello che cercavi.

Novakid, la scuola di inglese online che organizza lezioni interattive di inglese per bambini in 50 paesi del mondo, ha raccolto per te 100 esercizi sul present perfect: niente male, per chi ha voglia di approfondire uno dei tempi verbali più complicati per noi italiani. Insomma non proprio un argomento di inglese per principianti, anzi! Ma cominciamo con un ripassino veloce.🚀

Il Present perfect in breve

Prima di passare ai nostri 100 esercizi present perfect, vale la pena spolverare un po’ quello che sappiamo su questo tempo verbale dell’inglese.

Cos’è il Present perfect

Il present perfect simple (lo chiamiamo così per distinguerlo dal present perfect continuous) è un tempo verbale composto della lingua inglese. “Composto” vuol dire che è formato da due parole: l’ausiliare + il participio passato del verbo.

❌Anche se è un tempo composto come il nostro passato prossimo, ma non è corretto considerarlo come un tempo passato. ❌

Come si forma il Present Perfect

👉Nelle frasi affermative, si forma secondo la regola seguente:

soggetto + ausiliare to have (presente ) + participio passato del verbo principale

Per esempio:

  • I have worked
  • You have lived
  • Paul has painted

👉Nelle frasi negative si forma così:

soggetto + ausiliare to have (presente ) + not + participio passato del verbo principale

Spesso l’ausiliare + not viene contratto. Per esempio:

  • I have not /haven’t worked
  • You have not / haven’t lived
  • Paul has not / hasn’t painted

👉 Nelle frasi interrogative la formula è la seguente:

have/has + soggetto + participio passato verbo principale

Come:

  • Have I worked?
  • Have you lived?
  • Has Paul painted?

Quando si usa il Present Perfect

Qui noi italiani siamo portati a sbagliare.😫 Il passato prossimo di casa nostra non c’entra niente. Invece, in inglese si usa il Present perfect per esprimere una connessione fra il passato e il presente, l’effetto dell’azione passata sul presente, oppure la continuità o la ripetitività nel passato.

Si usa per:

  • Esprimere un’azione o situazione che è iniziata nel passato ma continua nel presente: she has lived in Rome for 10 years.
  • Raccontare un’azione che è avvenuta nel passato ma le cui conseguenze si verificano nel presente: Gloria has missed the bus (e quindi ha fatto tardi al lavoro).
  • Descrivere qualcosa che è avvenuto nel passato, ma in un periodo di tempo che ancora dura: Paul has worked all day (il giorno non è ancora finito).
  • Per esprimere un’azione avvenuta in un momento imprecisato del passato: I have read Gullivers Travels (non importa quando, non lo so).
  • Descrivere un’azione avvenuta varie volte nel passato: Kate has seen Romeo and Juliet five times.

20 Esercizi Present Perfect e Past simple

Quando si usa il Present perfect e quando il past Simple? Noi italiani,che non usiamo più il passato remoto e praticamente sempre il passato prossimo, e che vediamo (sbagliando) il Present perfect molto simile appunto al passato prossimo, ci confondiamo spesso. Ripassiamo rapidamente:

👌Il Simple past è il tempo usato per parlare di azioni, eventi, situazioni accaduti nel passato e terminati. Di solito la frase è completata da un marcatore temporale: We went to the cinema.

👌Il present perfect, lo abbiamo visto descrive azioni iniziate nel passato ma che hanno una relazione col presente: sono ancora in corso, hanno una conseguenza nel presente, sono appena concluse; oppure sono avvenute nel passato, non sappiamo quando o più volte; sono avvenute in un periodo che non si è ancora concluso (I’ve studied all day).
