The present perfect tense : form

 

8. The present perfect tense : form 

   
   

We make the present perfect tense with the verb ‘have/has’ and the past participle of the verb. 

Ne e formojne kohen e kryer me foljen ‘ kam/ka’ dhe pjesoren e foljes. 

I  You  We   They	have  ‘ve  have not  haven’t	lived in Slovenia.    written a book.    had lunch.    been to the USA.
He  She  (It)	has  ‘s  has not  hasn’t

To form regular past participle, we add –ed to the infinitive. 

Per te formuar pjesoren e rregullt , ne i shtojme foljes baze –ed. 

             Examples 

work          worked 

play          played 

Many common verbs have an irregular past participle . 

Shume folje te zakonshme kane nje pjesore te crregullt. 

                   Examples 

go             gone 

write          written 

Note:after words ending in /s/, /z/, /tʃ/, /ʃ /, /ʤ/, we do not normally use the short form of ‘has’. We use the full form.In speech this is reduced to /(h)əz/. 

Vereni: pas fjaleve qe mbarojne me  /s/, /z/, /tʃ/, /ʃ /, /ʤ/, ne zakonisht nuk perdorim formen e shkurter te ‘has’. Perdorim formen e plote te saj. Ne te folur kjo eshte reduktuar me  /(h)əz/. 

To make questions in the present perfect we use: 

have/has + subject + past participle 

Per te bere pyetje ne kohen e kryer perdorim: 

kam/ka + kryefjale+ pjesore 

                  Examples 

‘Have you read this book?’         ‘Yes, I have.’ 

‘Has he left yet?’            ‘No he hasn’t.’
