Grammar

1. Present perfect

用现在完成时表达在过去一个时间（未具体说明）完成的事对现在的有影响。用have+过去分词构成现在完成时。

I have printed my boarding pass.
She has lost her ticket.

许多规则的动词过去分词和过去时相同。

Present form Past form Past participle form pack packed packed print printed printed travel traveled traveled

一些不规则的过去分词也与过去时相同，例如下面这些单词。

Present form Past form Past participle form buy bought bought have had had lose lost lost

使用have not 和 has not造否定句。在口语中使用缩写haven’t和hasn’t, 除非你特别强调not。

I have not lost my passport.
Joseph hasn’t lost his passport.

have+主语+过去分词造一个现在完成时问句。注意回答缩略形式。

A: Has she packed her bags?B: Yes, he has.A: Have the Taylors bought their tickets?B: No, they haven't.
