warning The Time Trap!

Do not use exact past time words with Present Perfect!

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

"I have seen him yesterday." cancel

(ខុស! Wrong!)

"I saw him yesterday." check_circle

(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! flight

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

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". visibility
