Section 3: Are these sentences correct or not? Correct the incorrect ones.

We check if the present perfect is used correctly.

1. David hasn't just washed the plates.
✘ Incorrect. “Just” goes after “hasn’t” in negative forms.
✔ David hasn’t just washed the plates. → Actually, this is correct!
Wait — “hasn’t just” is fine. But note: we usually say “David has just washed…” (positive).
But “David hasn’t just washed…” is grammatically correct if you mean he didn’t wash them recently.
So: ✔ Correct.

2. They have watched it since the first show.
✘ Incorrect. “Since” refers to a point in time, but “watched” is an action that happens over time. Use “for” or change verb.
Better: They have been watching it since the first show. ✔
Or: They have watched it for a while.
But original is incorrect → They have been watching it since the first show.

3. I have run all the way here.
✔ Correct. "Have run" is present perfect – emphasizes completed action with relevance now. ✔️

4. We has been to the shops.
✘ Incorrect. "We" needs "have".
✔ We have been to the shops.

5. I have packed my case for the holiday.
✔ Correct. ✔️

6. Susan has slept in again.
✔ Correct. ✔️

7. I haven't spoken to them since yesterday.
✘ Incorrect. “Since” requires a specific point in time. “Yesterday” is a day, so okay. But “since yesterday” is correct.
Actually, this is correct: “I haven’t spoken to them since yesterday.” ✔️
Yes, it’s correct. ✔️

8. She have known about this since yesterday.
✘ Incorrect. “She” → “has”
✔ She has known about this since yesterday.

9. Bobby has been to school today.
✔ Correct. ✔️

10. Has you gone to the doctor?
✘ Incorrect. “You” → “Have you?”
✔ Have you gone to the doctor?
