💡 Explanation:
🔷 What is the Present
Perfect Tense?
The Present Perfect Tense is used to show an action that happened
at an unspecified time in the past and is still relevant in
the present.
Structure:
Subject + has/have + past participle (V3)🔍 Let's examine
each option:
❌ Option (A): I
have seen that movie yesterday.
Why it's wrong:
·
"Yesterday" is a specific time
in the past.
·
Present Perfect does not
go with time words like yesterday, last week, in 2010, etc.
·
For such cases, use Simple Past:
o
✅ Correct: I saw that movie yesterday.
❌ Option (B): I
have see that movie already.
Why it's wrong:
·
"See" is the base
form (V1).
·
Present Perfect requires past participle
(V3).
·
The past participle of "see" is "seen".
o
✅ Correct: I have seen that movie
already.
❌ Option (C): I
seen that movie yesterday.
Why it's wrong:
·
"Seen" is past participle (V3),
but here it's used without have/has.
·
Should be: I have seen or I
saw
·
Also, "yesterday" (specific time)
needs Simple Past:
o
✅ Correct: I saw that movie yesterday.
✅ Option (D): I
have already seen that movie.
Why it’s correct:
·
✅ Uses "have"
(correct helping verb for "I")
·
✅ Uses "seen" (past
participle of "see")
·
✅ "Already" is a suitable adverb for
Present Perfect Tense.
o
"Already" shows the action has
happened before now (recently or sooner than expected)
