PRESENT PERFECT Normalmente o Present Perfect é utilizado para indicarmos o passado com ênfase na ação realizada e não quando ela foi realizada. Compare: Present Perfect Ex.: I have seen an accident. (Eu vi um acidente) Simple Past Ex.: I saw an accident yesterday. (Eu vi um acidente ontem) Por causa disso, algumas pessoas acreditam que o Present Perfect é um tempo verbal no qual não podemos mencionar quando a ação aconteceu. Veremos adiante que isso não é verdade. 1.1. SPECIAL CASES 1) Ações repetidas no passado: Ex.: I’ve seen that film many times. 2) Ações completas num período de tempo inacabado: Ex.: I’ve met Jane today. 3) Already = já: Ex.: I have already finished my project. 4) Yet = ainda / já Ex.: Have you talked to Steve yet? I haven’t read the forms yet. 5) Lately = ultimamente Recently = recentemente Ex.: I have worked a lot lately. 6) Ever (“alguma vez” / já) Never = nunca Ex.: Have you ever eaten snails? This is the best film I’ve ever seen. I’ve never been to Japan. 7) Just = “acabou de” Ex.: I have just seen an accident. 8) Since / For Ex.: I have studied Cantonese for 3 years. I have studied Cantonese since 2001. 10) John has been to London VS. John has gone to London. 9) Before = antes Ex.: Steve has been to Edingburgh before. (...) Languages have always died. As cultures have risen and fallen, so their languages have emerged and disappeared. We can get some sense of it following the appearance of written language, for we now have records (in various forms – inscriptions, clay tablets, documents) of dozens of extinct languages from classical times – Bithynian, Cilician, Pisidian, Phrygian, Paphlagonian, Etruscan, Sumerian, Elamite, Hittite... We know of some 75 extinct languages which have been spoken in Europe and Asia Minor. But the extinct languages of which we have some historical record in this part of the world must be only a fraction of those for which we have nothing. And when we extend our coverage to the whole world, where written records of ancient languages are largely absent, it is easy to see that no sensible estimate can be obtained about the rate at which languages have died in the past. We can of course make guesses at the size of the population in previous eras, and the likely size of communities, and (on the assumption that each community would have had its own language) work out possible numbers of languages.(...) Considere as seguintes asserções: I. Há registro de cerca de 75 línguas, hoje extintas, que já foram faladas na Europa e na Ásia Menor. II. O exame do surgimento da linguagem escrita pode nos dar pistas sobre as razões do aparecimento e desaparecimento das línguas. III. As línguas extintas das quais temos registro hoje em dia representam a maior parte das línguas conhecidas. Das afirmações acima, está(ão) correta(s) A) apenas I e II. B) apenas I e III. C)apenas II e III. D) todas. E) nenhuma. A)
