Hi Estela,
Welcome to our forum. Please take a look at these sentences:
Have you ordered the stationery yet? Has she ordered the stationery yet?
Those are two questions in the present perfect.
As for improving your speaking skills, the more you listen to native English speakers interact with other, the easier it is for you to speak English yourself. In other words: You need to surround with spoken English on a daily basis. How much time do you spend listening to English now?
Let me know what you think. Regards, Torsten

Did you order the stationery yet? Did she order the stationery yet?

. Although I might say it that way too, Rob, I think it's worth mentioning that we North Americans use both versions:
Did you order the stationery yet?/Have you ordered the stationery yet? Did she order the stationery yet?/Has she ordered the stationery yet?
Note to the founders of this forum:
Please note that I have commented on North American usage in general since I am most familiar with the usage in various areas of North America. :wink: _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
