The present perfect is formed, in the affirmative, as follows
Subject + have + past participle + object.
I + have + climbed + the mountain!
Example: have climbed the mountain!
The past participle is, often, the same as the past simple form of the verb (although not always so be sure to learn them!), except it has a different function here. The auxiliary verb is the one linked to the subject; the past participle simply denotes the action while the I have…, You have…, etc. denotes who had the experience.
Conjugating the Present Perfect (affirmative)
I have climbed the mountain
You have climbed the mountain
He/She has climbed the mountain
We have climbed the mountain
They have climbed the mountain
As is quite common in English, all these conjugations are the same except for one: the third person. One must be careful to remember this exception. Apart from this, the present perfect is quite simple; now you can go forth fully equipped to brag about your experiences in any conversation!
Forming the Present Perfect (negative)
The present perfect (negative) is formed as follows:
Subject + have + not + past participle + object.
We + have + not + eaten + Thai food.
We have not eaten Thai food.
Conjugating the Present Perfect (affirmative)
I have not eaten Thai food
You have not eaten Thai food
He/She has not eaten Thai food
We have not eaten Thai food
They have not eaten Thai food
It is important to keep in mind the order of the various parts of these phrases. Remember always that the negation (not) goes between the auxiliary verb and the past participle.
We can also employ a contraction here which will make conversation easier. In this case there are two contractions to be learned
have not ⇒ haven’t
has not ⇒ hasn’t
With our newly learned contractions, the conjugations become
I haven’t eaten Thai food
You haven’t eaten Thai food
He/She hasn’t eaten Thai food
We haven’t eaten Thai food
They haven’t eaten Thai food
Forming the Present Perfect (interrogative)
The present perfect (interrogative) is formed as follows
Have + subject + past participle + object?
Have + you + visited + South Carolina?
Have you visited South Carolina?
Conjugating the Present Perfect
Have I visited South Carolina ?
Have you visited South Carolina ?
Has he/she visited South Carolina ?
Have we visited South Carolina ?
Have they visited South Carolina ?
Again, we can add negation in order to affect emphasis. For example
Robert: Do you know much about Elvis Presley?
John: Haven’t I visited Memphis?
John answers Robert’s question with another question, which he believes should suffice as an answer. In this case, John means that he indeed knows much about Elvis Presley and has even visited his home in Memphis.
With the negation (and contraction), our interrogative conjugations become:
Haven’t I visited Memphis?
Haven’t you visited Memphis?
Hasn’t he/she visited Memphis?
Haven’t we visited Memphis?
Haven’t they visited Memphis?

Present Perfect Examples in the Negative Form (English Grammar)
Present Perfect Examples in the Negative Form https://www.tofluency.com/5stepplan/
/// TRANSCRIPT ///
Hello. This is Jack from to fluency.com and in this English lesson, we’re going to talk about using the present perfect in the negative form and you’re going to see how I use this and then you’ll see some further examples, so let’s look at the video now…
It’s raining, it hasn’t rained for ages so we’re very grateful to get some rain. In the video, I said, \”It hasn’t rained for ages.\” So, you can see I’m using the present perfect here in the negative. Another way to say this is: the last time it rained was a long time ago. But it’s very common to use the present perfect here to talk about durations in the past until now. So… it hasn’t rained for a long time that’s why I’m using the present perfect here.
Here are some more examples to help you understand this: I haven’t watched a movie from months. They haven’t visited us for a long time and the last one is a little bit different: he hasn’t been to Thailand.
Now, in this case, I’m not saying for a period of time but when you say he hasn’t been to Thailand it means forever. He has never experienced this he has never been there. So, that last one is a little bit different the first who are talking about durations that started in the past until the present
