Lesson 1: Present Perfect Experiences

✈️

Life Experiences

បទពិសោធន៍ជីវិត (តើអ្នកធ្លាប់ទេ?)

We use the Present Perfect tense (Have/Has + Past Participle V3) to talk about things we did at some time in our life up to now.

យើងប្រើប្រាស់ទម្រង់ Present Perfect ដើម្បីនិយាយអំពីបទពិសោធន៍ដែលយើងធ្លាប់ធ្វើក្នុងឆាកជីវិតរបស់យើងរហូតមកដល់បច្ចុប្បន្ន។

The Time Trap!

Do not use exact past time words (yesterday, last year) with Present Perfect!

(កុំប្រើពាក្យបញ្ជាក់ពេលវេលាអតីតកាលច្បាស់លាស់ ដូចជា 'ម្សិលមិញ' ឬ 'ឆ្នាំមុន' ជាមួយ Present Perfect ឱ្យសោះ! ត្រូវប្រើ Past Simple ជំនួសវិញ។)

"I have seen him yesterday."
ខុស! (Wrong!) ❌

"I saw him yesterday."
ត្រឹមត្រូវ! (Correct Past Simple) ✅

Hi Vireak! "I have BEEN to Japan" means you went there and you already came back (it is an experience). "I have GONE to Japan" means you went there and you are still in Japan right now! ✈️

It is much more natural and common to say "I have NEVER eaten sushi." Avoid using "not ever" when talking about experiences. 🍣

No, that is a very common mistake! You must use the Past Participle (Verb 3). The V3 of "see" is "seen". So you should say "I have SEEN". 👀
