Present Perfect Simple

Once you finish studying verb tenses, you can use this chart to make your stundents visualize all the rules and structure of English tenses.. I prepared the chart by using 3 basic time periods (past, present and future) and added 4 basic forms of these time periods (such as simple, continuous, perfect and perfect continuous)



You can also use the gaps to make your own affirmative, negative and question examples..



I hope it`d help y`all..
