“現在完成時”動詞，用來表示一個動作在一個不確定的時間發生過了。具體的發生時間並不重要。也就是說，“現在完成時”只可以用在非具體時間已發生的事，如：有史以來，從來沒有，一次，很多次，好幾次，以前，到目前為止，已經，可是，等等。（ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc。）
如果動作發生在一個確定的時間，比如：昨天，一年前，上星期，當我還是個孩子，當我在日本生活，在那一刻，這一天，有一天，等等，你不能使用“現在完成時”。（yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc.）
請看下面例子:
* I have walked this route before. * I have seen that movie twenty times. * I think I have met him somewhere. * There have been many earthquakes in California. * People have traveled to the Moon. * People have not traveled to Mars. * Have you read the book yet? * Nobody has ever climbed that mountain. * Has there ever been a war in the United States? * Yes, there has been a war in the United States.
1. 現在時 (Present Tense) I have, he has, she has, we have, they have 2. 過去時 (Past Tense) I had, he/she/we/they had 3. 將來時 (Future Tense) I will have, he/she/we/they will have 4. 現在完成時 (Present Perfect Tense) I have had, he/she has had, we/they have had
例子:
* I have two dollars. * He had two dollars. * I think she will have the money tomorrow. * They have had many earthquakes before.
老木， That's coming later. Nice guess though. Seriously, laomu, what did you think of this lesson? I had a really hard time explaining the "contextual" differences between some of these tenses in Chinese. Unlike English,tenses are just not that important in the Chinese language.
