Present perfect

Pr-requis du 17e cours:

(Ce qu'il faut savoir pour comprendre ce cours)

Beaucoup de concentration :-) , car nous allons aborder un point difficile.

... Et les participes passs que nous avons vus dans la leon sur les verbes
irrguliers.

L'objectif du jour:
> Parler d'actions qui ont commenc dans le pass et
qui se poursuivent dans le prsent ou qui ont des
consquences sur le prsent

La solution: utiliser le 'present perfect'

1) Syntaxe
Voil un temps bien bizarre, avec un nom bien bizarre. Gnralement, il pose
bien des problmes aux francophones. Avant de savoir quoi il sert, nous allons
dj voir comment il se construit:
Voici une phrase au present perfect:
Paul has broken the vase. Paul a cass le vase.

Pour former le present perfect, on a donc besoin:

a) de l'auxiliaire HAVE qu'on conjugue au prsent:
I have, you have, he/she/it has, we have, you have, they have
(HAVE toutes les personnes, sauf la 3e personne du singulier)
b) du participe pass du verbe
'broken' est ici le participe pass du verbe 'break'; c'est un participe pass
irrgulier.
On a dj vu les participes passs dans la 13e leon. Vous vous souvenez, c'tait
la colonne qui ne servait rien dans la liste des verbes irrguliers.
Bien, alors petit rappel pour la formation des participes passs:
- verbe rgulier: je rajoute -ED au verbe. Ex: play > played
- verbe irrgulier: je les apprends par coeur; il n'y a pas d'autre moyen de s'en
souvenir.
Pour les questions, on fait l'inversion, comme d'habitude:
Have you broken the vase?
Yes, I have.
No, I haven't.
Donc, globalement, le PRESENT PERFECT n'est pas trs difficile construire.
La seule difficult vient du fait qu'il faut connatre ses verbes irrguliers. Par
contre, cela se complique pour les emplois. Il y a 2 grands emplois:

2) Action qui a commenc dans le pass et qui se

continue dans le prsent
Exemple: I have lived in London since 1998. J'habite Londres depuis 1998.
Bon, pas de problme, la phrase est bien conjugue au PRESENT PERFECT:
HAVE + participe pass
Le PRESENT PERFECT est ici indispensable. On ne pouvait pas utiliser le
PRETERIT. Pourquoi?
Quand a commenc l'action? En 1998.
Est-elle termine? Non, elle se continue. J'habite toujours Londres en 2003.
Pour les actions qui ont commenc dans le pass et qui se continuent dans le
prsent, on utilise le PRESENT PERFECT, par opposition au prtrit qui
concerne des actions qui sont termines.
I lived in London in 1998. J'ai habit Londres en 1998. (C'est fini, je suis revenu
en France.)

Facile! Allez, maintenant on s'attaque au plus compliqu!

3) Actions qui ont eu lieu dans le pass et qui ont des

consquences sur le prsent

Reprenons notre exemple:

Sarah has broken the vase.
Grce au PRESENT PERFECT, on met l'accent sur les consquences. Ici, cela
sous-entend: on n'a plus de vase pour mettre des fleurs; il est en morceaux
devant Sarah; Sarah a encore fait une btise; on ne peut vraiment pas lui faire
confiance.
Tout dpend du contexte (de la situation dans laquelle on prononce la phrase).
Les consquences peuvent tre multiples.
A opposer : 'Sarah broke the vase 2 days ago.' qui fait juste un bref rappel des
faits, sans jugement de la part de celui qui prononce la phrase.

Allez, 1 autre exemple. Essayez de deviner ce qu'on sous-entend en prononant

cette phrase:
Paul has eaten all the cakes. Paul a mang tous les gteaux.
Solution:
Par exemple: la personne se tient avec le paquet de gteaux vide la main. Il n'y
en a plus pour lui. Paul est vraiment goste et ne pense pas aux autres.
Ce ne sont que des suppositions; il faudrait avoir le reste du texte pour avoir une
ide plus prcise.

4) Petit bilan
LE PRESENT PERFECT (HAVE + participe pass)
- sert pour des actions qui ont dbut dans le pass et qui se continuent
dans le prsent
OU
- permet l'nonciateur (=celui qui parle) d'mettre un jugement sur une
action qui a eu lieu dans le pass et qui a des consquences sur le prsent

Exercice:
Complter avec le verbe au PRESENT PERFECT simple:
Un peu de vocabulaire...
SINCE (= 'depuis') permet d'indiquer quand l'action a commenc (date)
FOR (='depuis') indique une dure (2 heures, 3 jours, 5 mois...) pendant laquelle
cette action a t faite.
On utilise ces petits mots avec le PRESENT PERFECT.

Questions:

1. Oh, no! Someone ______________________________ (steal) my car!

2. I ______________________________ (study) English since 1999.
3. We ______________________________ (live) in Paris for two months.
4. ______________________________ (you/buy) your house?

REPONSES:
1) has stolen
2) have studiedhave been studying
3) have livedhave been living
4) Have you bought
EXPLICATIONS:
2) Meilleure forme: on peut ici utiliser le present perfect en BE + -ING pour
insister sur la dure: I have been studying English since 1999.
3) Meilleure forme: on peut ici utiliser le present perfect en BE + -ING pour
insister sur la dure: We have been living in Paris for two months.

Le present perfect
Principaux emplois:
1) Actions passes qui ont des consquences sur le prsent.
Paul has eaten all the cookies.
Quand l'action s'est-elle passe? Dans le pass: il y a quelques minutes/hier.
Quelle consquence a-t-elle sur le prsent? Paul a mang tous les gteaux; il n'en
reste plus pour moi.

2) Actions qui ont commenc dans le pass et qui sont encore en progression au
moment o l'on parle.
Paul has lived in London for 10 years.
Quand l'action a-t-elle commenc? Il y a dix ans.
Est-elle termine? Non, Paul habite toujours Londres. Cela fait 10 ans qu'il y
habite.

The present perfect

1. Formation

Pour former le present perfect on utilise l'auxiliaire 'To have' conjugu au prsent suivi du
participe pass du verbe.
C'est simple, non?
Ce qui l'est moins, c'est son usage, car l'anglophone ne pense pas les temps de la mme manire que
les francophones!

2. Emploi
1. Une action qui vient juste de se produire (= just)

Exemple:
It has just rained
I have just said it

2. Une action qui s'est droule un moment indfini du pass

Exemple:
I have bought a new car
He has already met him.

3. Une action acheve dans une priode de temps non encore termine

Exemple:
They have sung a lot today: Ils ont beaucoup chant aujourd'hui
Dans ce cas-ci, aujourd'hui n'est pas termin. Si la journe tait termine,
l'anglophone dirait: 'They sang a lot today' (= the simple past)

4. Une action passe qui a abouti un rsultat, une consquence dans le prsent

Exemple:
I have walked too much, I am exhausted: J'ai trop march, je suis puis

5. Une action qui a dbut dans le pass et est toujours en cours (ou qui se termine maintenant,
dans le prsent)

Exemple:
I have worked here since 1990 (et j'y travaille toujours)
I have known her for three years: Je la connais depuis trois ans (et je la connais
toujours)

Si je veux dire: 'Il y a 3 mois que je la connais'='Je la connais depuis 3 mois',

l'anglophone dira: 'I have known her for 3 months'
Mais si je dis: 'Je l'ai connu il y a 3 mois' ou 'Il y a 3 mois, je l'ai
connu', l'anglophone dira: 'I knew her 3 months ago' (= the simple past)

Put the verbs into the present perfect- Use irregular forms.

Questions:
1. She ______________________________ (to fall) in love.
2. We ______________________________ (to be) here for four hours.
3. I ______________________________ (to work) since six o'clock.
4. I ______________________________ (to sing) for two hours.
5. ______________________________ (To eat - he) all the chocolates?
6. She ______________________________ (to break) her arm.
7. They ______________________________(not to read) the newspaper. (forme
contracte)
8. We ______________________________ (to lose) our keys.
9. The forest ______________________________ (to burn) for 3 days.
10. Someone ______________________________ (to steal) my car!

REPONSES:
1) has fallen
2) have been
3) have worked
4) have sung
5) has he eaten
6) has broken
7) haven't read
8) have lost
9) has burnt
10) has stolen

Pour former le present perfect on conjugue Have au prsent et on ajoute un participe pass.

Utilisation 1:

On utilise le present perfect lorsqu'une action a commenc dans le pass et qu'elle continue dans
le prsent.
Exemple: I have lived in this house.

Pour poser la question depuis quand ? on utilise HOW LONG ? :

Exemple: How long have you lived in this house?

Pour prciser depuis quand on peut ajouter:

- SINCE suivi de la date explicite ou sous-entendue laquelle l'action a commenc dans le

pass.
Exemple: I have lived in this house since 2004.

- FOR suivi d'une dure ou priode de temps.

Exemple: I have lived in this house for 6 years.

Utilisation 2:

Le locuteur veut savoir si une action a eu lieu un moment sans la situer prcisment dans le
pass.
Dans la question, on utilise EVER pour 'dj'.
Exemple: Have you ever travelled by plane?

Pour rpondre:

-OUI: on utilise ALREADY pour rpondre 'dj'.

Exemple: Yes, I have already travelled by plane.

-NON: on utilise NEVER pour 'jamais'.

Exemple: No, I have never travelled by plane.

Maintenant, essayez de complter les phrases de l'exercice.

Questions:
1. ______________________________ (meet/ever/you) a famous person ?
2. She ______________________________ (know) her best friend for 10 years.
3. He ______________________________ (buy) a new house.

Like /dislike

I hate writing.

Connatre le prsent simple, ainsi que les autres temps.

L'objectif du jour:

> Donner son avis: J'aime le football. Je dteste le football. Je

m'en fiche du football.

La solution: utiliser les verbes d'opinion

1) J'aime...
Plusieurs possibilits:
a) Le plus simple, sans connotation particulire est:
I like
I like football. J'aime le football.
b) J'ai le choix entre 2 choses: je prfre
I prefer
I prefer football to tennis. Je prfre le football au tennis.
(notez bien le TO ici).

c) J'adore
Tout le monde le connat, c'est le clbre:
I love
Exemple: I love English! J'adore l'anglais!

2) Je n'aime pas...
a) Le plus courant:
'I don't like' = 'I dislike'
ex: I don't like carrots = I dislike carrots. Je n'aime pas les carottes.
b) Je ne supporte pas:
I can't stand
ex: I can't stand mobile phones = Je n'aime pas les tlphones portables.
c) Je dteste:
I hate
ex: I hate hospitals. Je dteste les hpitaux.

3) Je m'en fiche, cela ne me drange pas...

Le plus courant: 'I don't mind'
I don't mind music. La musique ne me drange pas.

Attention!
- On parle ici de sentiments, d'avis, d'opinions. Ce sont des choses habituelles;
des choses qui sont toujours valables. On utilise donc ici le prsent simple. Il faut
donc ne pas oublier le '-s' de la 3e personne du singulier:
She likes football.
She prefers football to tennis.
She loves English!
She doesn't like carrots.
She can't stand mobile phones. On se souvient: Pas d'accord aprs un modal.
She hates hospitals.
She doesn't mind music.
- Comment faire lorsqu'on veut utiliser un verbe aprs le verbe d'opinion?
Rponse: le 2e verbe se met en -ING:
They like going to school. Ils aiment aller l'cole.
We hate eating vegetables. Nous dtestons manger des lgumes.

4) Moi aussi... Moi non plus...

On peut aussi donner son avis en utilisant ces petits mots, pour dire qu'on est
d'accord (ou pas) avec ce qui vient d'tre dit.
Attention, cela se complique!
a) Je suis d'accord avec une phrase affirmative: 'moi aussi'.
Exemple:
Paul: 'Sarah likes swimming.' Sarah aime la natation.
John: 'So do I.' Moi aussi.
Accord avec une phrase affirmative: 'moi aussi'
J'utilise SO (qui est fixe) + l'auxiliaire correspondant au temps de dpart
+ le sujet
Autres exemples:
Paul: 'Sarah hates carrots.' Sarah dteste les carottes.
John: 'So does Maureen.' Maureen aussi.
(auxiliaire du prsent simple: DO, qu'on conjugue la 3e personne du singulier
cause du sujet Maureen)
Allez, on complique l'affaire: je vous donne un exemple avec un autre temps.
Paul: 'Sandra liked tennis when she was younger.' Sandra aimait le tennis quand
elle tait plus jeune.
John: 'So did I.' Moi aussi.
(auxiliaire DID du prtrit)
Il faut donc connatre sur le bout des doigts les auxiliaires de chaque temps. Ce
sont les mmes que ceux qu'on utilise pour construire des questions.

b) Je suis d'accord avec une phrase ngative: 'moi non plus'.

Bon, c'est un peu pareil, sauf qu'on utilise NEITHER.
Paul: 'I don't like going to the swimming pool.' Je n'aime pas aller la piscine.
John: 'Neither do I.'
Accord avec une phrase ngative: moi non plus
J'utilise NEITHER (qui est fixe) + l'auxiliaire correspondant au temps de
dpart (sans la ngation!) + le sujet

Autres exemples:
Paul: 'I didn't like Washington.' Je n'ai pas aim la ville de Washington.
John: 'Neither did I.'

Voil, vous savez tout! On passe l'exercice!

Yet /already

Still, yet et already sont des adverbes servant dfinir des actions en
cours dans le prsent ou dans le futur trs proche.

Still (encore, toujours) est utilis pour indiquer que quelque

chose est toujours en cours et n'est pas encore termin,

Exemple

Look! It's still snowing!

Yet (jusqu' prsent, dj) s'emploie pour voquer des choses qui
ne se sont pas encore produites, mais auxquelles on s'attend.

Exemples

Has Mary arrived yet?

Don't eat those apples - they aren't ripe yet.

Already exprime la surprise face quelque chose qui est dj

termin, notamment par rapport la rapidit du temps qui s'est
coul.

Exemple

'Have you finished your work already? (You only started doing it five
minutes ago)

N.B. Yet et already accompagnent un pass compos et peuvent tre

placs aprs l'auxiliaire ou en fin de phrase.

Exemples

Has Mary arrived yet?

She hasn't yet arrived.
Have you already finished?
Have you flnished already? (plus emphatique)

Still accompagne d'habitude un prsent progressif et suit l'auxiliaire.

Have you finished my book yet?' - 'No, I've just started reading it. '.
Dans l'item l'emploi de yet est justifi par le ton interrogatif du
locuteur. Si l'on souhaitait exprimer la surprise, il faudrait mettre
already.
