MODULE 3 Journey to space
Unit 1 Has it arrived yet？
■ Warming up
We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with time expressions such as "yesterday," "one year ago," "last week," "when I was a child," "when I lived in Japan," "at that moment," "that day" or "one day." We CAN use the Present Perfect with expressions like "ever," "never," "once," "many times," "several times," "before," "so far," "already" and "yet."
EXAMPLES:
I have seen that movie twenty times.
I think I have met him once before.
There have been many earthquakes in California.
