Grammar Tip 1: Present Perfect Sentences

In Spelling Punctuation and Grammar we learnt about the Present Perfect rule and how to use it in our writing.

You first have to use the present form of 'to have'. These are:
We have 
I have
They have
You have (singular)
You have (plural)
It has 
She has
He has

Secondly, follow the Present form of 'to have' with a verb in the past tense. For example:
eaten, painted, driven, counted, explored, sprinted.

These two stages link together to form the Present Perfect, here are some examples:
We have eaten an apple.
I have cycled to school.
She has bought her wedding dress.
It has trotted away.
He has ridden a roller coaster.

Tip 2 coming soon!
