Present Perdect tense. #1 (permalink) Thu Mar 24, 2011 21:30 pm   Present Perdect tense.
 

Does this make sense?

'I've seen so many things over the past few years'

Would you say it differently?

Thank you :)

Hi,

This makes perfect sense. You are using the present perfect to describe the recent past without identifying any particular time in the past.

"Food prices have gone down a lot recently, so it must be harder for farmers to make profits".

Would this be grammatically correct?

Have I used the present perfect tense correctly?

Thank you :)
