Let's solve the task step by step using the
present perfect tense.
The
present perfect tense is used to talk about actions that happened at an unspecified time before now or actions that started in the past and continue into the present. It is formed with:
-
have/has + past participle
Also, common words used with the present perfect include:
yet,
already,
just,
ever,
never, etc.
In this worksheet, all questions use
"yet", which is typically used in
negative and
question forms. When answering, we use:
-
Yes, I have / Yes, he has / Yes, they have... already / just
-
No, I haven't / No, he hasn't / No, they haven't... yet
---
Let's answer each question based on the clue given (Yes/No):
---
1. Have you finished your homework yet?
(No)
👉 Since the answer is
No, we say:
✔ No, I haven't finished my homework yet.
---
2. Has Peter written the letter yet?
(Yes)
👉 Since the answer is
Yes, and Peter is singular, we use
has:
✔ Yes, he has already written the letter.
---
3. Have you made the dinner yet?
(Yes)
👉 Answering "Yes" with "you":
✔ Yes, I have already made the dinner.
---
4. Have they put the books back on the desk yet?
(No)
👉 "They" is plural → use
have not
✔ No, they haven't put the books back on the desk yet.
---
5. Has Tom done his homework yet?
(Yes)
👉 Tom is singular → use
has
✔ Yes, he has already done his homework.
---
6. Have you spoken to the teacher yet?

📌 Explanation:
- We use
have with
I, you, we, they.
- We use
has with
he, she, it.
- The
past participle of verbs is used (e.g., finished, written, made, put, done, spoken).
-
Yet goes at the end in negative and question sentences.
-
Already is often used in positive answers to emphasize completion.
This helps show that the action was completed at some point before now, but the exact time is not important.
