Grammar

1. Present perfect

用现在完成时表达在过去一个时间（未具体说明）完成的事对现在的有影响。用have+过去分词构成现在完成时。

I have printed my boarding pass.
She has lost her ticket.

许多规则的动词过去分词和过去时相同。

Present form	Past form	Past participle form
pack	packed	packed
print	printed	printed
travel	traveled	traveled

一些不规则的过去分词也与过去时相同，例如下面这些单词。

Present form	Past form	Past participle form
buy	bought	bought
have	had	had
lose	lost	lost

使用have not 和 has not造否定句。在口语中使用缩写haven’t和hasn’t, 除非你特别强调not。

I have not lost my passport.
Joseph hasn’t lost his passport.

have+主语+过去分词造一个现在完成时问句。注意回答缩略形式。

A: Has she packed her bags?
B: Yes, he has.
A: Have the Taylors bought their tickets?
B: No, they haven't.
