Part 1: Put the verbs in Present Perfect tense

The Present Perfect tense is formed with:
> have/has + past participle

Use it to talk about actions that happened at an unspecified time before now or actions that started in the past and continue to the present.

#### Answers:

1. I have studied English.
*(I have done it at some point in the past, not necessarily just now)*

2. They have gone to Jordan.
*(They went at some point in the past; they might still be there)*

3. He has drunk too much coffee.
*(He drank it recently, and the effect is relevant now)*

4. We have eaten lots of chocolate.
*(We ate it sometime in the past, possibly recently)*

5. Sarah has passed her exams.
*(She completed them successfully in the past)*

6. Adam has cooked breakfast.
*(He prepared breakfast at some point before now)*

7. They have not arrived yet.
*(Negative form: "have not" + past participle → "haven't arrived")*

8. You have not called me.
*(You didn’t call — negative present perfect)*

9. She has not made dinner.
*(She hasn’t prepared dinner yet)*

10. We have taken the bus to Jerusalem.

Part 2: Rewrite the questions in Present Perfect

We need to convert these into present perfect questions using Have/Has + subject + past participle?

1. How many books / you / read / this week?
→ How many books have you read this week?
*(We use "have" because "you" is plural, and "read" is the past participle of "read")*

2. Where / you / be?
→ Where have you been?
*(This is a common question asking about recent whereabouts)*

3. You / ever / be / to Egypt?
→ Have you ever been to Egypt?
*(“Ever” goes after “have”, and “been” is the past participle of “be”)*

Part 3: Choose the suitable word: since / for

- since = a specific point in time (e.g., 2007, 6 o'clock, when I was nine)
- for = a period of time (e.g., 15 years, two weeks)

#### Answers:

1. Ali has been my friend since I was nine.
→ *“Since” because “I was nine” is a point in time.*

2. We have been waiting for you since six o’clock.
→ *“Since” because “six o’clock” is a specific time.*

3. I have been living in Palestine for fifteen years now.
→ *“For” because “fifteen years” is a duration.*

4. I have been working here since 2007.
→ *“Since” because 2007 is a point in time.*
