Grammar recap: 

Adjectives & present perfect 

Adjectives 

Adjectives 

Adjectives = bijvoegelijk naamwoord

We use adjectives to describe a noun. We can explain how something looks, tastes or feels. 

We can be clear about which one we mean or how many there are of something. 

There are different types 

• Positive: This is the basic form of the adjective, used to describe one item or group without making a comparison. (e.g., big, happy, interesting)

• Comparative: This form is used to compare two items or groups, indicating a higher or lower degree of the quality. (e.g., bigger, happier, more interesting)

• Superlative: This form is used to compare three or more items or groups, indicating the highest or lowest degree of the quality. (e.g., biggest, happiest, most interesting)

Present perfect

The present perfect is used to say that something happened in the past and continues in the present.

have / has + past participle (regular/irregular form)

We have washed the car. It is clean now.

He has lost his keys. He can't get into the house.

We have lived in this house since January. 

Present perfect

Step 1: Determine if you use have / has

Step 2: Second verb + ed (irregular --> look up)

Let's practice!

1. I ___ already ___ you many times. (Call)

2. She ___ never ___ this much in her life. (Work)

3. They ___ ___ an entire marathon at this point. (Walk)

4. He ___ ___ me with my homework since the first year. (Help)

5. We ___ already ___ the requirements for the assignment. (Check)

6. You ___ just ___ an awful photo of yourself. (Post)

Key words 

already, just, yet, ever, never, for, since, so far, up to now, not yet, lately, recently

If one of these is in the sentence -> present perfect
