Hello, my name's Jared.
哈囉，我的名字是 Jared。
Today, we're looking at verb tenses again. This time, we're going to focus on the present perfect tense. Many of you have heard of this tense, but you may still be a little confused.
今天，我們又要再看一次動詞時態。這次，我們要把焦點放在「現在完成式」。你們很多人都聽過這個時態，但你們可能還是有點困惑。
The present perfect connects the past with the present in some way. Here are some examples: I've lived in Paris all my life. I lived in Paris when I was little, and I still live there now. I've seen that movie three times already...in my life, from the past to the present.
現在完成式以某種方式連結「過去」和「現在」。這裡有幾個例子：我在巴黎住了一輩子。我小時候就住在巴黎，而我現在還住在那裡。我已經看過那部電影三次了...在我這一生中，從過去到現在。
When we're talking about experiences we have had in our lives, we use the present perfect tense too. Here's an example: I've been to Machu Picchu, but I've never climbed Mount Everest. I've eaten some very interesting things in my life.
當我們在談論我們生活中有過的經驗，我們也用現在完成式。這裡有一個例子：我有去過馬丘比丘，但我從來沒有爬過聖母峰。我在這一生中吃過一些非常有趣的食物。
Here are some key words to look or listen out for: Have you "ever" fallen in love? I've "never" been skydiving. He's "already" been married three times.
這裡有一些關鍵字可以找找看或是注意聽聽看：你「曾經」墜入愛河嗎？我「從來沒有」跳過傘。他「已經」結婚三次了。
When you have to decide which tense to use in the Use of English sections of the Cambridge English exams, think about the context. Is it in the present or the past?
Is there a connection between the two? Are there any key words that can help me decide which tense to use?
當你在劍橋英檢中的「英語運用」題型裡要決定使用哪種時態時，想想前後文。它在「現在」還是在「過去」？兩者之間有關連嗎？有任何可以幫助我決定要用哪個時態的關鍵字嗎？
Thanks for watching.
謝謝觀賞。
